About Skydrive: a cloud-based file storage system

SKYDRIVE is a cloud-based file storage system. If you have a Hotmail account or an MSN account, you already have access to this tool. Users can store digital photos, documents, etc. there. No matter what happens to the PC, those files will be safe there.   Advantages: Instead of sending attached files to students, teachers can share  files. In this way, they can avoid any inconveniences that may appear if the students' computers do not have the same word processor. With SKYDRIVE students and teachers can go to any computer, log into their SKYDRIVE account and do their work with ease since everything they type is on an external server.  Once their work is uploaded, teachers and students can share their files. There are different sharing options, but I will mention just two: "view": this means that if you share your file using this option, the visitor can only read it. "edit" means that people may edit the document but they cannot share
