Just got this windows skydrive.. its a 5 gb harddisk on the net so you can acces your files no matter where you are , best thing is it free and you can also make public folders you will need msn live for it to work.

How protected is it? Any idea?

Because if i, say, backup my personal text folders, they have some rather "need to know basis" stuff in them.

Ah well, until some idea is by someone, it's still a good place to store the "unsensitive" material.

Is this like opening an account on googlemail?

EDIT: Just to make it clear. Nobody gives you anything for free, that's an illusion. So if you get something, you give something in return and on the internet, chances are high that what you give is personal data and information...

Looks alright tbh, wouldn't use it myself for mega personal important stuff but could be handy to transfer essays from my laptop to pc for printing at uni.

I think what Mey is saying that if you have an MSN live account, there's no signup problem/giving more details.

Yes...but I think the reason is quite obvious ^^
