The SkyDrive app works in the same way as famous DropBox; when you install the application, it will create a dedicated folder — you can also choose the location during the installation —, and any file and folder that you place in it, will be synced automatically to your online personal hard drive. From the app you can launch a really nice and fluid web page in your web browser to manage all your uploaded documents.
Furthermore, the new SkyDrive for Windows desktop and Mac app has the ability to turn your machine in your own personal cloud storage, by allowing you to access files in your computer through a web browser — that you authorize, of course.
The application will also add a link in Windows Explorer, under Favorites , and it will start downloading any files you already have in the cloud. The desktop client sits in the system tray for easy access to various settings and options.
In the dialog box for Settings you can change whether files in your computer will be available on other devices. Turning off the option will sync files to other configured devices with the cloud service. And of course, you have also the option to start the app automatically when you login to Windows. SkyDrive makes it easy to access files and folders along with all internal and external drives from any computer PC or Mac where the application is installed and running.
You may or may not noticed this, but when you installed the app and connected it to your Windows Live ID, you were also enabling remote access to your local files. Currently Microsoft is only offering 7GB of free storage space for new users, which is more that the competition is offering.
