I used Live Mesh once. Then, out of the blue, after a reboot reboot it started deleting all my files. I got in touch with the Live Mesh team and was told that I should remove files with unsupported extensions (WTF?) from my synced folders and see if my files came back. I think they were eventually able to recover some, but not all, of the stuff that was lost. This was early 2009, so maybe the client has improved since then, but I can't bring myself to trust it.

I used Live Mesh from launch up until about a year ago and had similar experiences. Lots of sync errors, lots of pain upgrading when MS decided to shuffle Live Mesh over to the Windows Live team. On the other hand, Dropbox has been incredibly reliable and easy to use, plus it works on Android and Linux.
