What is Skydrive?
Skydrive is online filespace where you can store files that you wish to access from any internet connection. You can access skydrive at http://skydrive.live.com. Skydrive is not backed up and if you delete a file, you will not be able to recover it. For coursework and other important items, we recommend that you save you files to your H:/drive which is hosted by the University of Aberdeen and is backed up every night. See http://www.abdn.ac.uk/dit/docu/facts/pc/fspc01.doc for more information.
Windows Live SkyDrive is an online file-storage service that lets you save information online for personal use; share information with select people based on their Live ID, with either read or contributor permissions; and make content available to anyone. The Live SkyDrive interface is simple and intuitive, and the service currently enforces a 5GB limit. The service is available at http://skydrive.live.com/. You can upload as many as five files at a time through a basic Web page or by installing an ActiveX control that lets you easily drag files onto the browser and upload them. Accessing the options for a folder gives the Web address, so you can provide instant file access by simply mailing people a URL.
