File storage is rapidly expanding, both on local machines and in the cloud. One free service that is available now is SkyDrive from Microsoft. It is available at https://skydrive.live.com.
SkyDrive is a cloud-based file storage service. It offers 25 GB of file storage on the Internet. To get the service, you must have a Windows Live ID (available at www.live.com).
The files that you store on SkyDrive are password protected and have a range of security options. You can control which files or folders can be seen and who can see, tag, copy and download from your stored files.
SkyDrive can be used as offsite backup storage and as a way to share files with friends or colleagues. The price is certainly right and it provides a valuable service to its users.
