Personally, I don't like all the status update messages you get with Mesh, or that it changes your synced folders' display in Windows Explorer. Just sync the folder I told you to, and no extra fluff, thanks! On the other hand, if you were sharing this folder with another person (not just yourself on another machine), this info could be pretty useful. I use Sync at the moment, because I got sick of the extra Mesh noise. But I used it happily for 6 months, and sometimes miss visiting my work desktop from home some nights.
