    What is maximum file size I can upload?  I am trying to upload 92MB file and it wil not finish.  There is virtually nothing else (5GB still available) stored on the Live Desktop.

    Last I heard, the maximum file size was 2GB.

    You do have 5GB of space on the Live Desktop, but you can actually sync more than 5GB of data over the Mesh.

    To bypass large files being uploaded to the Live Desktop, you can set the sync settings for a Meshed folder to "Never with this device".

    As long as you are syncing the folder with two devices other than the Live Desktop, the data will be moved between them without using up your quota.

    The downside is you won't benefit from fast download speeds for files hosted on the Live Desktop.

    According to this blog post from the Live Mesh team - http://blogs.msdn.com/livemesh/archive/2008/08/13/the-potential-of-live-mesh-is-limitless.aspx - the individual file size is 2 gigs.

    What do you mean by "will not finish?" What happens?
