Online storage site Humyo.com is offering users of the free version of its service a 14-day trial of its new client, which includes a synchronisation feature  similar that in the Live Mesh service being developed by Microsoft.

Both services, as we reported yesterday, provide online storage accessible from any browser. Synchronisation allows files changed on one machine to be updated automatically on others, as well as being backed up in secure remote storage.

Microsoft's Live Mesh is at the public test stage.  Humyo's synchronisation is available in version 2.0 of  its client software, which transforms remote storage into a virtual hard disk addressable as a drive letter Do you use more than one computer?

Humyo offered synchronisation previously but says the engine has been completely revamped in the new version.
