There's one thing which has always raised a doubt to me. Suppose I have an album of around 100mb and I copy it to my SkyDrive folder, will it use double space in my system or will the album in the SkyDrive folder be a shortcut?

you would have to start storing primary data in the skydrive folder. that's how it works. i assumed that it allowed you to link your regular folders to your skydrive account... check it out on my installation. does not look like it.

It is like an additional folder on your system, so double the space. If you just want to be able to access it occasionally, assuming your machine is on and connected to the internet, you can use their feature which allows you to download files not explicitly in the Skydrive folder

from what i see, i can tell google to not sync some folders from my drive account. microsoft is not offering such a feature.

Yippee, just saw this thread and I'm extremely happy!! 😀

Never used it. So is it more like drop box or more like Google drive?

 

[Sushubh]

All of these are pretty similar to each other!

SkyDrive for Android looks beautiful, gives the Metro feeling on the droid.And for me SkyDrive >>>>>> Dropbox and Google Drive so this was a much awaited app for me. 😀

Can you please elaborate how it is better than the two?
