access your files remotely Microsoft SkyDrive is a desktop client for the SkyDrive cloud service. If you are familiar with Dropbox, you'll find that Skydrive works in a similar manner. It creates a SkyDrive folder and whatever file you copy into the folder are automatically synchronized and uploaded with the SkyDrive cloud service. You can access your files from other client applications on PC. Mac or mobile devices as well as the web interface. SkyDrive also allows you to access all other files on your computer(s), not just the ones in your SkyDrive folder. This can come very handy if you need remote access to files that are not synched with the cloud service. The file access features requires an additional security step (email confirmation) and can also be turned off completely.SkyDrive requires a Windows Live account and comes with 7GB of free storage.

One more great product from MS 5 stars by iwillneverstop Dec 30, 2012 (Read all my 19 reviews)
MS SkyDrive (client), together with the SkyDrive cloud service, is great. Several great features are Automatic sync and resync, Remote file access. Some minor improvements could be "Automatic spliting into predefined-size files", "Filter by filename to sync", "Configuration for web access URL". MS SkyDrive is better for me when compared with other alternatives. showShow review details

I upgraded skydrive (and got 25 gb vs. 7gb!) 5 stars by compuable Apr 29, 2012 (Read all my 11 reviews)
I upgraded SkyDrive and received a BONUS of up to 25 GB! (vs. the standard previously available 7GB!) I had previously tested and used SkyDrive prior to upgrading (but not Office 365; at least not yet, anyway) and I really like it a lot, as well. And I especially liked it when I checked the site today; right after your posts in here, btw - thx! And was offered a "free user" upgrade from 7GB to 25GB supposedly "for loyal users" in the "Manage storage" section of the SkyDrive site. I have the Google Drive the service too and so far so good. I downloaded a few things to test it out and then just last night I uploaded my entire Windows 7 'documents' folder (where I keep just about everything). The only somewhat 'negative' thing I can think of; regarding the other Google Drive software; is that it took a really LONG time to upload all the .docs - but there were a lot of them so no complaints, really. Also, another minor issue is that it seemed to be much easier to access it after uploading; from the Chrome Browser (as opposed to others that I like to use) but no biggie. showShow review details
