    How do I sync multiple LiveMesh accounts with my livemesh desktop and computer?


    Is it possible to sync multiple live mesh accounts with the same device/computer?

    Hi,

    Depending on your set up and what you're trying to achieve you could share the folders to one master account that sat on that computer.

    If you specifically need multiple accounts on the same computer the way to do that is to install Live Mesh under different users on the machine, then each user account can sync a different mesh.

    Hope that helps,

    I'll add that you can share a folder or folders in your Live Mesh on the Live Desktop for the "master" LiveID by sharing or inviting the folder(s) other LiveIDs.

    So, to better answer your question about "multiple" accounts and the Live Desktop and computer, please explain what you had in mind.

    What I was thinking, is have a folder that is sync'ed between to different live ID's/

    Currently I see that you can only sync between devices under the same Live ID/

    In Live Mesh Beta (the topic of this forum, but no new users allowed to sign up for the beta, and being discontinued on 3/31/11) you can sync between LiveIDs by inviting users.

    In Windows Live Mesh (Part of Windows Live Essentials 2011) you can also share with other LiveIDs. Add a folder to your Mesh, open Windows Live Mesh and click on the folder. You'll see "shared with" Just Me is the default. Click on Just Me and a browser windows opens where you can select email addresses to share the folder with.
