Windows Live Skydrive helps you to store, access, and share your files with friends or co-workers, from anywhere online. Free 25 GB online storage means you can easily get to your stuff with just a few quick clicks.All you have to do is simply drag and drop your files, and multiple files can be uploaded to sky drive in seconds.
With Windows Live Skydrive you get 25 GB of free, password-protected online storage, and you’ve got the freedom to share large photos, files, and documents. You set the passwords and you decide who sees what, so you have confidence that your data is in your control.
So now if you you forget your zip drive at home, you can still access that presentation that you may need from Skydrive. But some of you may say how is Sky Drive different from Office Live Workspace ?
Office Live Workspace is based on a hosted version of Sharepoint, which is a collaboration and document management solution primarily used by enterprises. What Microsoft has done is take the document management solution part of Sharepoint, host it on their own servers, strip down the functionality, offer it for free to public/individual users and market it as a solution specifically for Office documents (of course, you can store other types of files on Workspace as well).
The most important difference between Office Live Workspace and Skydrive is that in Office Live Workspace you can access your documents directly from within the Office applications via the add-on.
Skydrive is part of Windows Live, which is suitable for storing and sharing a range of files (not just Office documents), but the files are only accessible via the web interface and cannot be accessed via Office applications. There is also no document history/versioning in Skydrive. There is also more storage for Skydrive (25GB) vs. Office Live Workspace (5GB)
So it's 25 Gigs in the Sky aye laddie, it's 25 Gigs in the Sky, it's 25 Gigs in the Sky aye laddie, it's 25 Gigs in the Sky!!
