The New SkyDrive

I am sure everyone out there at least got a @hotmail.com or @live.com. Ever heard of Microsoft Skydrive? It’s something similar to Dropbox, Sugarsync or BOX. Previously Microsoft Skydrive is giving free 25GB to their user. Now the revamped new Skydrive default free storage is reduced to 7GB.

Starting today, we are now offering:

7GB free for all new SkyDrive users. We chose 7GB as it provides enough space for over 99% of people to store their entire Office document library and share photos for several years, along with room for growth. To put things in perspective, 99.94% of SkyDrive customers today use 7GB or less – and 7GB is enough for over 20,000 Office documents or 7,000 photos. Since the current base of customers using SkyDrive tilts towards enthusiasts, we are confident that, as we expand the range of people using SkyDrive, this 7GB free limit will prove to be more than enough for even more people.

Quota Consumption (megabytes)

We know that many of you signed up for a service that offered 25GB, and some are already using more than 7GB of storage. So, starting today, for a limited time, any registered SkyDrive user *who has uploaded files to SkyDrive* as of April 22nd can opt in to keep 25GB of free storage while still getting all of the benefits of the new service. (For users who are already using more than 4GB as of April 1, we’ve automatically opted you in to 25GB of free storage to avoid any issues.) Just sign in here or view our FAQ.(blog.msdn.com)
