Get 5 GB of free Storage with Windows SkyDrive

Sky Drive is a fantastic uploading site and i’ve been using it from the day of launch.. initially it was 500MB yes 500MB.
But I thought these guys will learn but nah they are the same adamant microsoft. I am really irked about the feature of not being able to move files from one folder to another.once you have fixed a folder you are done you cannot move that folder into another or move a file from one to another.

But for this highly annoying feature This is a great uploading site.
Now I have a question for you guys. How safe is it for u to put sensitive documents on this site e.g. marks cards,birth certificates… Since thats holding me back. Ok I agree the password is very important but even then i still don’t have faith in online storage till additional security features come in. comments….

I tried to start an account twice using Firefox; both times failed. So I opened IE, got logged in, then had to change my IE security settings to get it to work.

But it will only let me use the ‘one at a time’ uploader, even though I tried setting up the multi-installer tool. Instead of undoing who-knows-what security thingees I put on my pc in the past, I just made a 7zip archive of a set of family photos so I could upload everything at once. I’m guessing this storage system uses a lot of ActiveX; I really look forward to the review of other storage systems coming out. Hopefully they won’t require IE/ActiveX.

Not sure what’s going on there. I signed up initially with Firefox and have since went back in using Firefox under both Windows 2000 and XP without any problems. Today I added 5 files at once to a folder without any problems too.
Perhaps one of your extensions or configuration is conflicting.

Well, now that I’ve started an account (through IE lol), FF is working. Before trying it with FF again, I turned off my NoScript addon, but after I found it was working with FF, I turned NoScript back on and allowed the LIVE site, and it still worked. So I’m not sure why it wasn’t working with FF earlier. It seems it was some temporary glitch on my end.

I even uploaded a few things successfully to test it. I did notice that they don’t offer an ‘multi-uploader tool’ while using FF, like they did with IE.

Thanks!
