We love having our files synchronized between our computers, especially photos. It’s a great feeling to know your photos are always up to date, and ready to be viewed and shared. The Sync team wanted to share this feeling so we’ve partnered up with Windows Live Photo Gallery to let you synchronize photos between two computers directly from Photo Gallery!
Although you always could synchronize photos manually on http://sync.live.com, setting Photo Gallery to do it is much more convenient. Give it a try. Download and install Windows Live Essentials on two computers, launch Windows Live Photo Gallery on both and sign in on each using the same Windows Live ID. Next, on one of the two computers click Setup gallery sync… from the File Menu in Photo Gallery and follow the instructions. You’re on your way to synchronizing photos!
Another cool thing about synchronizing your photos with Sync is that your edit history is also synchronized! You can undo edits you've made to your photos and even revert back to the original photo from any of computers synchronizing with the gallery.
Keep in mind that the current Sync limits (20 synchronized folders containing up to 20,000 files each) still applies. Also if some of your folders in your gallery are already synchronized, you’ll need to visit the Sync website to modify your existing sync settings.
This is a new feature that we’re trying out with a limited number of people. If you can, try it out and let us know what you think. If you can't, hold on - you'll be able to soon!
