Want to try Mesh, but not got access? Find a friend and you can!

Unsurprisingly, here's some more Mesh news. If you have yet to see what Live Mesh is all about and you're just waiting patiently in the waiting list, there is another way you can get in on the Tech Preview. We spotted this on the day of its release, but Nadia has now made it official in the Live Mesh Forums.

So how do you do it? Simple, find someone who already has access to Mesh, and get them to invite you to view one of their folders. In doing so, you will go through all the process of accessing Mesh so you can view that folder, then when you click on Devices at the top, you will now be able to add your own devices and start using Mesh.

How does your friend do this? Simple, it can be done from either the Web Interface, or from the Windows Interface:

Web: Windows: image_thumb.png image_thumb_1.png Once the invite is sent, you will get an email from your friend inviting you to share a folder using Live Mesh. Just follow that invitation and that's it, you're in.

So if you know someone who is using Mesh and hasn't done this, I suggest bribery! Just a note though, a user only has two invites available to them (and yes, I've used mine).

thanks,

There is no invite system just sign up for the wating list on the Connect website.

edit: nvm i didnt see the article, i thought the thread was about who is in and whats it like.

Im in and it works ok you can only add computers to your device list until they get mobile and other devices working. The browser Remote Desktop is nice, ok speed. One thing that Mesh has that Live Sky Drive doesnt is that you can right click a folder or file on your computer and send it Mesh. You can set the folder as a regular upload or have the folder be synchronize so that any update to a file in that folder will update on Mesh and the devices.

I cant wait to see what Mesh apps come out and the Live Mesh SDK thats coming out also.

You don't have to have an invite... You just need a hotmail (live) account and sign up at Microsoft Connect....

What a nice concept. I like it.

Yeah when I first head about this idea with the getdropbox i thought that was an awesome idea, as the Foldershare by microsoft seemed troublesome of the freedom of being able to store your files between PC's. As i tend to be between PC and Laptop often, for school and work.

I am really looking forward to this, signed up to connect, and the sharemesh website, hoping to be able to join the test one day soon. See how I go.

With all this new stuff from the live services, I hope they really start too integrate everything into a neat package.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Call of Duty: Vanguard, EA Sports FC 26, and more come to Xbox Game Pass

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Call of Duty: Vanguard, EA Sports FC 26, and more come to Xbox Game Pass by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft is in the process of making some big changes to Xbox Game Studios right now, which might include studio shutdowns, but Game Pass drops aren't pausing for that. The second wave of June was just announced, unveiling another Call of Duty addition, the latest soccer game from EA, an indie road trip hit from last year, and more. While Microsoft said it won't put Call of Duty titles on Game Pass on the day of launch anymore, older titles keep landing, with the latest one being 2021's Call of Duty: Vanguard. Here are all the games that were announced today for Xbox Game Pass, their platforms, and arrival dates: Junkster (Cloud, XBOX Series X|S, Handheld, and PC) – June 16 Call of Duty: Vanguard (Cloud, Console, and PC) – June 17 EA Sports FC 26 (Cloud, Console, and PC) – June 18 Abyssus (Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC) – June 25 RV There Yet? (Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC) – June 30 Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 (Cloud, Console, and PC) – July 2 Winds of Arcana: Ruination (Cloud, Console, Handheld, and PC) – July 6 From the bunch, Junkster is the sole day-one drop into Game Pass libraries of this selection. As new games arrive, eight will be leaving the Game Pass programs on June 30. Here's the full list of leaving titles: Mecha Break (Cloud, Console, and PC) Payday 2 (Console) Rise of Tomb Raider (Cloud, Console, and PC) Tomb Raider (Cloud, Console, and PC) Slay the Spire (Cloud, Console, and PC) Ultimate Chicken Horse (Cloud, Console, and PC) Volcano Princess (Cloud, Console, and PC) Unpacking (Cloud, Console, and PC) With June drops finished, Microsoft should have a new Game Pass announcement in about two weeks to reveal the first wave of games coming to subscribers in July. Already confirmed games for the month include the Halo: Campaign Evolved remake, Corsair Cove, SpeedRunners 2: King of Speed, and Mistfall Hunter.
