| 1288525 | 2012-07-15 00:17:00 | I see Hotmail Accounts are now offering Sky Drive, a cloud storage facility. Has anyone used this sort of thing and how secure (trustworthy) is such a thing. The thought of putting files etc "out there" seems a bit risky. Is it? Comments and thoughts would be appreciated :) | smurf (6545) | ||

Mind you, I only have a few files uploaded to Skydrive, mainly as 3rd backups to the normal backups I use. People may rubbish MS, but you'll find their security for this type of thing wouldn't be taken lightly. |

| 1288529 | 2012-07-15 05:11:00 | I've got skydrive. I like it. As wainuitech said, being M$ they are not going to fail suddenly. Even if they can it, they should give you time to get anything off. No issues. |

| 1288532 | 2012-07-15 12:00:00 | Just be careful what you put in syncing drives. I synced with my 'DATA' folder which happens to have my TB and FF profiles in it. Took a few days to realise that the constant modem activity was caused by this syncing. Even worse, the uploads were 3GB per day when my data cap was 20GB! Apart from that, this free storage seems like a useful service to me. |
