Sky Drive

Some of you might have seen this already, but I see that Microsoft has a version of on-line storage - free, and 5 GB worth - called Windows Live SkyDrive. Password-protected, and it isf Windows and Mac friendly... heck, it even accepts Firefox browsers!

I can see that it could be useful in the event of a PC disaster of some sort
but I just wondered whether anyone here uses it and what people think of this kind of cyber storage in general?

Nice find TC.

Good find, think i'll try this out!!

Has anyone tried this out? Any views on it?

Just been "playing" with this, seems a little easier than gmail's rendition, though it took me a wee while to figure out how to invite people.


Let me know TC ...

Woops, sorry Mucks, only spotted this after I'd pm'd you Well it gets a thumbs up from me, as it was very good. It was a tad slow to do anything after I clicked on the video link, but when it came up it was very clear and impressive I thought.

Cool, may have to give this a try. I had a quick look last night, and it looked like it would be ideal for putting pictures on and then letting my friends have access to them.

Google's Picasa is better for pics, except video pics.

Picasa has a whole host of advantages over this SkyDriver, however, you may as well "sign-up" if you already have a MS passport.

Now I have both.

I'm not surprised, it was/is a 45MB video. Not bad from a hand held camera.
