sharing folders? :( by swgeek10056 on 02-20-2009 at 12:25 AM
sorry for only asking questions and not answering them, but that's mainly why i came here. let me first start out by saying that i like a lot of the new features of the build 14 wlm. but i noticed something very different from 8.1: there seems to be no sharing folders! i clicked on the "files" button and there was "send a file or photo" as always, but i liked the synchronized sharing folders. now there's this thing called skydrive that as far as i can tell you need to either make a special folder for each of your contacts... seperately, or you can share one folder with all contacts. i'd like to just have the old sharing folders back; i don't know if any of you people on the forum could change anything but since this is the official forum and i dont want to spend about an hour looking for a button labeled "feedback" i thought i'd post it here
so recapping: i admire that the new skydrive feature is available, but i would be very greatful if sharing folders were once again available and scynchronized with your contacts.
thanks for reading all that, and thank you for your help so far. i hope my request is at least considered as a possibility and gets into the hands of the right people.

The Sharing Folder feature has been discontinued in the latest version of Windows Live Messenger. Sorry, I dont think that they will even add it again in the upcoming versions.

agree share folders where useful... who had the idea of removing them was off his pot at the time

This is the official forums for Messenger Plus! Live, not for Windows Live Messenger. No-one here [directly] has the power to change anything like this.
I'd imagine that all of the factors were taken into very careful consideration before removing sharing folders.
Any existing sharing folders will definitely be lost any any content would have to be re-created.

It has been removed in favour of Windows Live SkyDrive.
