I am about to send the latest copy of my VSTS 2008 Essentials course manual off to a commercial printer for printing and rather than do the usual FTP thing, I have decided to give Windows Live SkyDrive a whirl.

Windows Live SkyDrive gives you 5Gb of storage space for free which is plenty for the average user.

By default you have a number of private folders created automatically that you keep your own personal files in.

You can then easily create Shared Folder and limit who can access these folders. You can also choose if each person is a Reader or Editor on the folder which is of course just a “Read-only” flag. All in all, while there are other vendors offering similar services in the Internet, Windows Live SkyDrive is a convenient and easy way to store files “in the cloud”.
