    online cloud?

    Just wondering if anyone has used any of the online cloud services.

    I was looking at the skydrive from msoft. it gives 25GB of space but only allows a max file size upload of 50mb. I doubt I will ever exceed that file size since all I want is pictures and stuff saved on it. They have an android app so I can load stuff and look at stuff from my phone as well.

    I looked into dropbox, but they have a 2gb max per account storage. Also has an android app.

    anyone have any thoughts on this? Is decently cloud safe?

    Google has a service I am testing a Win 7 ISO at the moment.

    1 GB but 5 bucks a year gets you 20.

    People that buy OEM systems think Linux was a Charlie Brown character, a registry is something you see at target to buy shower gifts, RAM is a Dodge truck and a hard drive is DC at rush hour.

    Well, so far from what I see on Skydrive ...

    You can easily upload your files.
    50GB file size limit.
    you can easily share photos or files.
    you can choose if the person you are sharing can edit the file.
    seems pretty good for just saving pictures and things like that to.
    it has an app for smartphones to let you upload from your phone as well.

    So they changed it and you can upload 1/2 a file to the 25GB now

    So it is not sluggish at all?
