SkyDrive: new features and bug fixes
 

Microsoft has officially opened its service SkyDrive in 36 countries. What is SkyDrive? It’s a service accommodation and storage online. Offering 5 gigabytes of space, it can store a large number of documents, with a selection of directories to sort, and a Public folder for the content you want to share without restriction; something similar to Google Apps.

Currently, SkyDrive is compatible with the following browsers:

  • Windows: Internet Explorer 6 and 7, Firefox 2 and 3, Opera and Safari
  • Mac OS X: Safari, Firefox 2 and 3, Opera
  • Linux: Firefox

The service continues to be updated regularly, even if Microsoft prepares in its laboratories Live Mesh, which will be the start of the unification of a number of Live services. The publisher has added support for SkyDrive in 24 new countries including Germany, Greece, Poland, Romania, Singapore or Thailand.

Users can now post comments on all the files that are hosted by the service. Concerning images, it is also possible to leave a caption on each. It also noted the emergence of a new mode of view "Miniatures", like Windows, offering a preview faster. Moreover, the link "Details" was also added.
