Windows Live Skydrive has a Mac client that downloads files from the SkyDrive to my computer. However, this is only the files I've uploaded, not the ones shared with me.
So I end up having to download them from the web client and then copy them to the desktop client in order to get them, and of course they aren't syncing at that point.
Is there a way to make the shared files sync, like in Dropbox?
Live Mesh and Live Groups are two separate products and you have two separate accounts. Currently there is no such Sync feature between the two. You would have to manually do whatever you wish to.
I know how this can be done through the web application through SkyDrive.com. It is actually quite straightforward.
Note: certain SkyDrive features are released to some users first and other users later. However, this particular feature has been around for a while so I don't think you should have a problem being able to do this.
Best Answer
It is not possible to sync a shared folder. The best option is to download the files/folders and put them into your own Skydrive account.
