Windows Live Devices was an online device management service as part of Windows Live which will allow users to centrally access and manage the synchronization of files stored on their computers, mobile devices, as well as other peripherals such as digital photo frames. Windows Live Devices also allows users to remotely access their computers from the internet using a web browser.
This service integrates tightly with Windows Live Mesh to allow files and folders between two or more computers be in sync with each other, as well as to be in sync with files and folders stored on the cloud with SkyDrive. (Now OneDrive)[1] The combination of the three services: Windows Live Devices, Windows Live Mesh, and SkyDrive are very similar to the previous Live Mesh technology preview platform offering from Microsoft, and are based on the same underlying technology.[2]
Windows Live Devices was released on June 24, 2010, as part of Windows Live Wave 4 suite of services.
