Windows Live SkyDrive Offers Free 25 GB Online Storage

Posted by

When I first heard about Windows Live SkyDrive, I thought it was just like MediaFire or Dropbox where I can store and backup all my files. But then I learned that SkyDrive offers FREE 25 GB online storage! So I decided to try it and until now, I’m using it.

Windows Live SkyDrive is really awesome! Uploading and downloading files is so easy and fast. It’s so easy to share your files online with your friends and family! Of course you wouldn’t be able to use SkyDrive unless you have a Windows Live account like hotmail.com or live.com. So if you’re planning to buy an external hard drive, think again. For me, online storage is a safer backup tool since no one can steal it from you (make sure that you have a strong password) and you can easily access it anytime and anywhere as long as there’s an internet connection which is not a big problem nowadays.

Going back to SkyDrive, if you’re concerned about your “privacy”, you don’t have to worry because you set the password and you decide who can see your files so you’re confident that your data is in your control.

And also, SkyDrive is just like your normal “My Documents” folder on your PC; you can create new folders easily, separate your “Personal files” from your “Business files”, and etc.

You can easily share your files to your family and friends even if they don’t have a Windows Live account by sending them a link through email. And also, each folder on Windows Live SkyDrive has a unique web address that you can send to your friends for direct access.
