Vista - Windows Live SkyDrive to quintuple storage again to 25GB

Following the last quintupling of storage from 1GB to 5GB in February and a few features added in May, Microsoft is planning to do it again in the next few weeks when it updates Windows Live SkyDrive. In addition to updating the service to the new Wave 3 look, the company will make it available in more countries and regions: Arabia, China, Hong Kong, Israel, South Africa, and Vietnam, as well as 13 new languages: Basque, Catalan, Guajarati, Hindi, Indonesian, Kannada, Malay, Malayalam, Marathi, Serbian-Cyrillic, Tamil, Telugu, and Vietnamese.

Saw the announcement. I think its amazing and wonder how theyre managing it.

I recently closed my paid hoster account and will probably use this for storage now.

It's definitely a nice feature. Comes in handy if I forget my USB drive.

Hi All,

anyone know wht the security is like on the skydrive?

I have a live account but havn't used skydrive yet - with that amount of space its certainly tempting for backups.

Its secure

Hi Steven,
Thanks for the info,
I often need to save bits of client's setups before doing things , and a USB drive isn't always available, as it's not my data I have to have security. Data Protection and such.

I'll have to go back and have a look again, I signed up for it ages ago but then never went back to check it out.

Can't wait to start backing up my files.

What's your internet download/upload rate? xD, i cant compare this with a pendrive, in the first one it would take hours to upload a GB while in my pendrive just a few minutes xD, so 5/25GB are completely useless for me.

I'll only be uploading pics and other stuff so bandwidth don't matter also I've already used up the 5GB.
