Although Microsoft is not as cool these days, I am liking the new SkyDrive (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/skydrive/compare http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/skydrive/compare). (I also use a paid SpiderOak account for backup and sharing.)
- sigkill 14y agoIirc skydrive offers 25 gigs. I wonder why they're saying just 7 though. EDIT - Yep my account says 25. I'm thoroughly confused.
- nickbarnwell 14y agoIf my memory is correct, when they merged it back into the Live brand they also downgraded the standard storage space to 7GB. If you logged in sometime during the transition period or clicked on a special link that they sent out in an email you got to preserve your 25GB of storage.
- jabits 14y agoYes, this is what happened. I have the 25 gig as well.
- pca 14y agoIt wasn't a login, you had to have at least one file on your skydrive before the recent merge to keep the 25GB. Effectively you now can get e.g. 45GB for 10$ a year. Dropbox' old 50GB for 10$ a month plan was a joke in comparison.
- lebski88 14y agoThey launched with 25 gigs but that was only a short term promotion at the start of this year. 7 gigs is their standard free offering. Anyone who signed up during the promotion period gets to keep 25 gigs free though of course.
- sigkill 14y agoOh I see. I had no idea that it was a promotion. I guess I got lucky. :)
- rlu 14y agoDitto. Sidenote: SkyDrive's "fetch" feature is awesome. Can grab any file on my computer even if it isn't in my skydrive folder.
