The cloud is where every tech company wants us to live, and not surprisingly, each wants us to live in its cloud world. Microsoft hasn't had big announcements like Apple's iCloud, but it has been quietly putting together...

MS Skydrive is excellent and my oppinion the best Cloud service out there because of its integration with Windows, Office and Hotmail.

Its helped in being able to share 100's of photos and being able to edit a document at the same time as others is perfect!

It's nice to see they're still imrpoving it even though its got more than enough features already.

Although the 100MB file limit is pretty annoying sometimes.

I read from another source that the file size limit will be increased to 2GB, not 300MB, so I don't know which is true. 2GB would be great for those who want to upload videos.

I think the best part of the update to SkyDrive for Windows 8 is that it will be integrated into Windows Explorer so you could use it like a normal folder/drive, capable of creating files directly in the folder as well as dragging and dropping. This SkyDrive folder will by synchronized and accessible from all of your Windows devices so that you always have all of your documents/photos/whatever with you. The new functionality even goes one step further and allows you to access other files and documents from any one of your connected Windows computers and pull that into SkyDrive remotely. Pretty cool functionality.
