NSA NEEDS YOUR DATA UPLOAD YOUR FULL 25 Gig
"" You know Microslut will keep it safe and secure from prying spies""
Microsoft has dramatically increased the default storage space available for customers of its SkyDrive Pro service. The upgrades were announced by Microsoft on Tuesday and see Redmond increase the overall storage space available for each user from 7GB to 25GB, and add other features as well. SkyDrive Pro is a store 'n' sync …
So are you saying Dropbox wouldn't comply with a Government order? This isn't a competitive distinction unless your provider has no assets or business to be leveraged in the US (which is certainly not the big providers). If you are concerned you need to apply at rest encryption to your files.
But as a general sync tool I like Drop Box more. I don't want to store everything in the cloud, I just want to use it for stuff I share between my phone and computer. The free 3 GB is fine for that.
There is no drop box app for the surface, and I have to use the web interface, but the skydrive app will not let you keep a local sync of anything so it's not any better, just bigger (still shows 7 GB).
I use it. So many corporate email providers bounce zips and executables that sending code to, for example a company that posts example code on github that doesn't fucking work* is far easier if I send a link to Skydrive instead.
Since that code has no business case for security, Skydrive is as good as anything and it was free.
