SkyDrive is a handy software if user always takes his work home. It is an online server that allows the user to share and work with his documents anywhere provided Internet access.
Designed to improve collaborative work, it supports office documents including Word, Excel and PowerPoint files. Being a synchronization client service, Microsoft SkyDrive can be accessed directly from Windows Explorer. User can quickly add new files dragging them to the SkyDrive folder.
With SkyDrive each folder is automatically synchronized (displacement, modification and deletion) between the computer and the online storage space.
