(Page 1 of 4 )
There are a number of ways to store data online, but some of them come with real disadvantages. Windows Skydrive is different. Keep reading as we explore what it can do for you, and how to get the most out of it.
Have you ever thought of finding ways to store a large number of files online? There are lots of ways to solve this problem. One of the most popular is to sign up for a free hosting account; with it, you can readily store and share files via FTP. Another approach is to use an online storage site. There are lots of these sites; some of the more popular are shown here:

But the main problem for both of these popular methods is the lack of proper support, the fact that many of them are NOT free, the lack of storage capacity and instability. Security is also a big issue, particularly with the FREE sites. You can store a lot of files; however, you risk exposing some of your files in the public (like storing files via FTP).
One of the best ways to store files online is by using Windows Skydrive. If you are using Windows Skydrive, you can store up to 25 GB of data. This is far more than you can typically store with free hosting companies or online storage websites.
Of course, before you can use Windows Skydrive, you must have a Hotmail/Live (Sky drive) account. However, you can create your Windows Live ID at the link provided above.
This article will discuss both basic and advanced techniques to maximize the use of Windows Skydrive. This will ensure that you are getting the most out of your Skydrive account.
Before we can start with the advanced techniques, we must illustrate the basic techniques for using Skydrive.
