Windows Live: SkyDrive Updates

by Alpesh Nakar

Windows Live SkyDrive Team have released some cool updates:

  1. 1GB Storage for all, up from 500MB
  2. Share your public folders by typing in the email address of the person with whom you want to share!
  3. RSS Feeds for public folders!

imageSecond is a very user friendly upgrade. Previously you had to select contacts from your address book (hotmail), so you end up adding them before sharing. This is really cool.

Pretty cool is the addition of Feeds (RSS) to Public folders. This way you can easily be notified of updates to content that friends place in their Public folders. Simply go to the Public folder and click on the Feed icon in the upper right corner (or the Feed icon in IE for example). The feed contains a preview image of the added files - either a small version of the photo or the file type icon and links to the associated download page for that file on Windows Live SkyDrive.

Windows Live SkyDrive is moving towards the Windows Live Spaces umbrella in the same way that Windows Live Events is going to placed when launched. Right below the Windows Live Wave 2 header you get direct access to different parts of Windows Live Spaces. Your Spaces homepage (What’s new), spaces, friends, photos, and events can be reached from here.

Last but not least Windows Live SkyDrive isalso displaying who has uploaded a certain file now which can be helpful is you have given full access to a folder and want to keep track of who is uploading what.
