Today's quick article is on Microsoft's Skydrive. As part of our on-going Mobile Monday's posts this is another great online application that Microsoft has made available to users for free. By signing up to this service you can share Documents, Music, Pictures & Videos with friends and loved ones. One current drawback is the 50Mb size limit to each file. Sure you can have up to 5 Gigs worth of files but each one has to be 50Mb's or less. I believe this will change shortly. As we know from previous leaks on the Internet Google is near releasing their similar application without the restrictions that MS has. Their app nick named "Platypus drive" or GDrive is just around the corner. Google has laid the ground work to get folks comfortable with moving all their data online as well as keeping it there and accessing it as they need it. And all along they have been feeding out more storage space for app's like Gmail etc... It is just about time for them to pull it all together into one neat package. Of course ultimately if you tie this together with an operating system such as gOS you get a pretty complete package for next to nothing. All you need is the hardware to get you online.
