Possibly you've already seen this. It's 25Gb of free online storage from microsoft.

Well I've installed and attempted to try this, it just breaks explorer for me so far.

Interesting. Not sure I trust that program you linked to, but the 25GB storage on SkyDrive sounds nice. Not sure what I'd put on it though, I have enough trouble filling the 2GB on Dropbox.

edit: There's Microsoft's own program called foldershare.

Well that was the link from the tech site I read it at. It does appear however that when you google it a million sites pop up offering skydrive.

This is the link wikipedia gives. It just logs onto my install now.

Also this seems to be the ms site, as usual there's very little in the way of obvious documentation.

Possibly the top link is a dodgy browser for skydrive.

I've been using foldershare (now LiveSync) for a while as a kind of iFolder replacement, both because I value the synchronisation and immediacy of access of it and because the DropBox storage limit was way too low for me.

If they could link the two techs, it would be good, but still not quite up there with iFolder - it (LiveSync) chokes on large numbers of files and creates duplicate files by default instead of date-checking.

How nice of them.
