Skydrive is the service that everyone can use to store personal files online. I’m going to write more about how to use Skydrive, but let’s start with a note about the two different ways that Microsoft is using the name. Skydrive apps are available for Windows, Windows RT, Windows Phone, Android, and iOS. Skydrive is becoming more visible now as Microsoft builds it into the Office 365 service and Office 2013 programs (Word/Excel/Powerpoint/OneNote). You can share them easily with others, making it the best way to share files that are too large to email. Microsoft will give you a generous amount of storage space for your files. Skydrive is simple and flexible, it’s free, and it’s secure and reliable. It is quickly becoming a core service for every Windows user, as important for you to understand as any program on your computer. Skydrive is Microsoft’s service for storing files online and accessing them from any device.
