Windows Live SkyDrive

  • Article

Storage 'in the cloud' anyone?  Just sign up for the beta of Windows Live SkyDrive and you'll get 500Mb.

The beta is just for the US, the UK and India (but all you have to do is change your Windows Live (Hotmail) profile to have a US address and you'll get it).

Here's what the announcement from the SkyDrive team says about it:

This is a feature update, including the following:

· An upgraded look and feel – new graphics to go along with your new features!

· “Also on SkyDrive” – easily get back to the SkyDrives you’ve recently visited

· Thumbnail images – we heard you loud and clear, and now you can see thumbnails of your image files

· Drag and drop your files – sick of our five-at-a-time upload limit? Drag and drop your files right onto your SkyDrive

· Embed your stuff anywhere – with just a few clicks, post your files and folders anywhere you can post html

Enjoy,

Dave.
