This should work - although its not a scenario we have tested. Also - uninstalling Mesh on your PC should not delete any data you have stored in Mesh online storage

Sync should be able to do what you want. Try the steps below - but first stop syncing the folder you're working with. (You can do this from devices.live.com)

1. Create the sync folder on one computer by clicking 'Sync a folder' in the Sync client
2. In the Select Devices dialog, click OK without selecting any other computer. This will create the folder but not start syncing it yet. This is important since if you select another computer, Sync will automatically sync the folder to your personal directory on the other computer - which is what's happening now.
3. Go to each of your other computers and open the Sync client. You will see the folder you created. Choose “Sync this folder” and select the local directory you wish to use (i.e. D:\Work)

All-

Appreciate the comments and feedback. The official channel for feedback is here:

Also – please report bugs here:

@Rbear -  We really appreciate the interest in a developer offer – both for folder sync and settings sync. In this release of Windows Live, we prioritized our Messenger Connect APIs but will consider extensibility for Sync in the future.

@KDawg  - Going from Beta to RTM should be a smooth process – with settings preserved. Also – we’ve integrated with Microsoft Update so you should get auto prompted.

 @Ckurt / @USArcher  - SkyDrive has 2GB of Sync storage and 25GB of web storage for Office / photos. We hear you on the confusion and desire to see these things work more seamlessly together. This is something we will look at in future releases. Feedback during the beta period (and afterwards) will help us prioritize – so please keep it coming.  

@andreasbalzer - Thanks for the suggestions! Please use the feedback link above. Shell / context menu integration  is something we will consider in a future release.

A few folks had questions on app settings. First, Sync uses cloud storage to sync app settings – so both devices don’t need to be on at the same time for the sync to happen. (Note that there is no way to access settings stored in the cloud.) As for app support., we focused initially on two of the most common (IE and Office) while we consider how to bring this capability to more apps in the future.

Will reply to others shortly...

thanks-
