Using Windows Live SkyDrive

Many of us signed up for free Hotmail accounts years ago, and then watched as capacities increased and services were added. Hotmail has evolved into Windows Live, a continually growing collection of services, most of which are still free. You might not even know you have it, but if you have a Hotmail/Windows Live account, Windows Live SkyDrive provides you with 25 gigabytes of free online storage. (Visit www.windowslive.com for more information.) It’s a private disk drive on the Web, and it’s accessible using any Internet-connected computer. And even if you hesitate to store sensitive documents “in the cloud,” it’s still pretty handy to have a 25-gigabyte virtual flash drive you can access from anywhere.
