Free Internet Hard Drive from Microsoft


Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

You can never have enough storage space for files. What if I told you that you can get another 1GB of storage… absolutely free?

If you have a Windows Live id, you can sign up for the new SkyDrive from Microsoft. This Internet-based storage solution is free, and very easy to use. Simply sign up using your Windows Live id, and start uploading files.

Once your files are uploaded, you can access them securely using either Internet Explorer or Firefox. You can also choose to share your files with friends and associates. There are two levels of “outsider” access: reader and editor. The names are self explanatory. A reader is allowed access to read your files once you give them the login information. An editor has access to read and manipulate or change the files. They can be shared across the country… or across the world. When you sign in to Windows Live SkyDrive, you’re in charge. For each folder you create, you choose who has access to it. Add new folders, rename them, or change who has access at any time. So you can share some folders… but not others!

Online Storage FTW. I dunno about Microsofts though.

beta isn’t available in canada! :(

doesnt work in melbourne

Wonder what would happen if I stored a pirated Windows ISO. Oh the irony….

I recommend Humyo. Humyo is a free internet hard drive with unlimited storage. Store any file, any size, for free. What beats that?

Awesome. 1GB isn’t a lot. But it kicks the **** out of Indexing of a 1Gig flash drive that’s like 950 MB.
First

there’s a site i use called mediamax, which currently gives you 25gb of free storage. I got it during a special and have 50gb of storage for free.
i’ve been using it for almost a year now.

very nice service,

I thought Chris was going to do a webacm giveaway tonight!

He gave away the webcam earlier.

Apparently, we can’t create an account here in Canada yet :(
but it’s seems possible to access other people files…

“Sorry, this beta service isn’t available yet in your region. However, you can use other people’s folders if they give you permission.”

That was going to be my comment. Fill up Microsoft’s space full of MS Warez lol

gtalk uses Jabber so it’s not closed which is nice

ya i tried it and it says its not in my region..:(

Why would I want 1gb from Microsoft when I just unwrapped and plugged in a 1tb Western Digital My World NAS that also comes complete with over-the-internet sharing in addition to its home network capabilities :-)

Media Max gives you 25GB completely free

I can already see stories about idiots with pirate versions of windows logging in to that SkyDrive thingie and later being arrested & charged some insane amount of money, not only for pirate version of windows, but also for all the gigabytes of music & films stored on HDD, some of which they tried to “share” with friends or whatever :D

i’m gonna open one, fine idea

@ ikun12 - yes, http://www.humyo.com is a great service, with fantastic streaming capabilities and unlimited storage, but you can only download a single file at a time. This means if you want to share albums etc you have to archive them first into a single file, or you’ll spend all day right clicking each song to download them…

I’d rather trust a third party start up with my data than M$ anyway…

I’m a beta tester on the new live programs from Microsoft but I can’t get Skydrive because I live in Denmark, I find that really frustrating!

hey you can use msn messenger and yahoo messenger with anyone with different chats.

Not available in South Africa

I use AOL Xdrive and I get 5 GB’s free, but online HDD’s are a pain, because they take so long. That’s why I use an external HDD.

Unless something has recently changed with Media Max, the catch is you can’t access any files over 10MB.

Sounds a bit like Foldershare.com , it’s also a Microsoft product they bought but haven’t done much with. Great sharing service!

GAIM Messenger has practically every single IM service, and its free

The no accounts in Canada really sucks for me, but I still think WHFF (Will Host For Food [www.willhostforfood.com]) is better. You get a free account, and unlimited storage, up to 500MB per file, and is entirely free! No php, asp, or bat files allowed, though.

it’s called Pidgin now ;-)

Online drives might be good for backing up a few files. But anything to big will take to much time to upload and download.
