Called “Skydrive” a part of Microsoft’s “Windows Live” it allows you to store and share up to 25GB of data (documents, photos and other media files). “Windows Live Photo Gallery” syncs automatically to Skydrive which is terrific. What I am a very disappointed by; there is no method to transfer other files by a desktop application like it does with “Photo Gallery”. In my opinion this decreases the usefulness of “Skydrive” a lot. Right now you have to go to the website. Click “Upload Files”, click on “Browse”, click “Open” and then click “Upload”. This is so old-school! Not Web 2.0 at all. What it is really good for is sharing very big files with others. Files up to 50MB can be uploaded and shared.

Over all I think it’s a good start. The photo sharing function and it synchronization with “Photo Gallery” works great! I think Microsoft may someday do something with desktop synchronization. At lease I hope so!
