  1. I used live mesh for a while and liked it well enough, but found it used a lot of resources and slowed down the machines too much.

    I've now settled down with Dropbox, which also has a Linux client in addition to Windows and OSX.

    Mesh was superior in that you could sync any folder(s) on a hard drive, Dropbox limits you to a specific folder but works extremely well and has a small footprint. The website copy copy of the data has a great history/log and 'undelete' capability.
