What I consider a MAJOR drawback for Dropbox is that it's just ONE main folder which you can't rename. If you want multiple custom named folders, they have to be sub-folders of your "My Dropbox" folder. Mesh on the other hand can add ANY folder to your Mesh account, and each folder can have custom syncing rules (CompA dosen't update FolderA from CompB, CompB only updates FolderB from the LiveMesh online Desktop, etc). Being able to add any folder to Mesh also means I can sync one folder from the root of C: drive and another from the root of D: drive. This is a killer feature for me as when I want to sync files, I don't want to have to copy files across drives every time. I maintain one media-server with both installed.
