SkyDrive Changing Overhead fees for Travel to the Cloud

By Drew Kwashnak

Microsoft has updated free SkyDrive that comes with a Windows Live and Hotmail account. Anybody who had a Windows Live or Hotmail account before April 22, 2012 enjoyed 25GB of storage space in SkyDrive, but that is going to drop to 7 GB, which new users get, unless you elect to a free upgrade! If you already have over 7 GB of files stored in your SkyDrive, you are automatically upgraded to 25GB, and need not do anything.

To keep your 25 GB of SkyDrive space, log into SkyDrive through any browser. When you log in, you should see a banner with a link on where to go to "claim your free 25GB"

If you don't see the banner, like if you closed it without realizing what it was for, you can get to the same location by a link on the sidebar.

Click Manage storage and you will see the option to upgrade your storage (back) to 25GB or purchase additional space, which is new.

But hurry! Who knows how long this offer will last.
