Saving Files in SkyDrive

SkyDrive is a cloud-based storage area available with your Windows Live account. You can upload files from your computer into the SkyDrive area on Windows Live to be accessible from other devices that have Internet access. For example, you can store files from your work computer on SkyDrive that you can access from home using your home computer, iPad, or smart phone.

To upload a file to SkyDrive, click SkyDrive on the Windows Live top menu (see Figure 18.6).
