The advent of cloud computing has made a big impact on how we connect with friends and family and also put computing mobility to the highest level.  Before I usually save my files in and FDD (floppy disk drive), then CDs and DVDs with larger capacities than FDD, then here comes Flash Drives, then external HDDs (Hard Disk Drives), but now I can just drag the file into a Windows Explorer window and access that file anywhere!  As long as I am connected with the cloud, I can create, edit and share files to anyone.  I can just log in into any device, a phone, a PC, a tablet, or a desktop as long as I’m connected to the cloud I can access all my files that I uploaded to my SkyDrive.

SkyDrive is a cloud storage service that is available for Windows Live users.  When you sign up for a Live or Hotmail account, a 7GB of online storage will automatically assigned to you.  You can do a lot with that 7 GB, you can upload your files and photos to share with friends and family plus you can create and edit documents, spreadsheets and presentations using the Office Web Aps, you can even take down notes using One Note and set it to sync on your PC. So how’s that?

SkyDrive has a lot to offer.  It has also an app for Windows, Mac, Windows Phone, iPhone and iPad so you can work with your files anywhere in any device that you have. You can download the SkyDrive App here.

Good news! SkyDrive will be available on Windows 8 as well!
