WOW! Microsoft recently announced beta of the Windows Live SkyDrive (aka "Windows Live Folders"):
SkyDrive gives users 500 MB of free online file storage - password protected by their Windows Live ID. And they can be stored in private, shared or public folders - allowing you to decide who can access to each folder.
Some of the features added to this Beta version are:
- An upgraded look and feel - new graphics to go along with your new features!
- Also on SkyDrive" - easily get back to the SkyDrives you've recently visited
- Thumbnail images - we heard you loud and clear, and now you can see thumbnails of your image files
- Drag and drop your files - sick of our five-at-a-time upload limit? Drag and drop your files right onto your SkyDrive
- Embed your stuff anywhere - with just a few clicks, post your files and folders anywhere you can post html
The beta - at this time - is available only for US, UK and India users.
