You've made two things clear since our first release: You want more space; and you want SkyDrive where you are. Today we're giving you both. You now have five times the space you had before — that’s 5GB of free online storage for your favorite documents, pictures, and other files.
SkyDrive is also available now in 38 countries/regions. In addition to Great Britain, India, and the U.S., we’re live in Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Denmark, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Finland, France, Guatemala, Honduras, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Norway, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, Portugal, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, and Turkey.

Re: Microsoft SkyDrive now bigger, better, faster
Thanks for the news. Skydrive is much faster compared to RS. And also there is no waiting time.

Re: Microsoft SkyDrive now bigger, better, faster
Here's to getting .Mac for free (or at least cheaper. $99 is too much for online services in this day and age. Although, it does kick ass)

Re: Microsoft SkyDrive now bigger, better, faster
You do realise that .Mac is much more than just 10GB of storage right? I'm just saying that since everyone is offering online services for free, Apple should drop down the $99 rates to something more affordable. I haven't even tried SkyDrive for that matter.

Re: Microsoft SkyDrive now bigger, better, faster
^^^ I wonder. I use the ActiveX control to upload files, upload speed is good, so is download speed but yeah no resume. SkyDrive has kicked rapidshare out of business, now if only it could support Resume all the other file sharing sites willl go out of business .
Did I mentioned SkyDrive's integration with Windows Live service....
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Microsoft.

I wouldn't wanna bet on that! MS is known for snooping around.. I wouldn't trust MS with my private or confidential data.

Than you should also not trust Google. They keep also your information including credit card details, interest and other personal details.

Re: Microsoft SkyDrive now bigger, better, faster
So what's your point? Since one must not trust Google, Microsoft is safer? Meh, nice logic.
Data is only as safe as your watch is. It can break, get lost, stop functioning, same works with data storage mediums too. Safe, my _.

you are making different meaning.
I said, if you cant trust MS than you cant trust Google also. Than, whom will you trust..rapidshare of megaupload ???
If we suspect Google or MS or yahoo, than we must leave using their E-mail and other services. So, have some faith on top web players.
