Microsoft has just taken this little application out of Beta.

You are given 5GB of online space with a max file upload size of around 50MB.

The idea here is that you have this space online that you can store your personal files, share files among users and all falling into somewhat of an online repoistory.

To Quote:

“Windows Live SkyDrive (previously Windows Live Folders) is part of Microsoft’s Windows Live range of services. SkyDrive allow users to upload their files to the computing cloud, and then access them from a web browser. The SkyDrive service utilizes Windows Live ID to limit access to the files the user has uploaded, allowing them to keep the files private, share with contacts, or make the files public. Publicly-shared files do not require a Windows Live ID to access.

The service currently offers 5GB, with a maximum upload file size of 50MB. Optionally, an ActiveX tool can be installed to allow drag-and-drop uploading from Windows Explorer. Up to five files can be uploaded each time if that ActiveX tool has not been installed.”
