The free app went live this morning and will provide a native desktop interface for those files you have to access everywhere, for a price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, I said it\u2019s a free app, but it will cost you. Before today, if you had a Live account you could have netted a cool 25GBs of cloud storage with SkyDrive. Today, Microsoft not only announced the inevitable release of their desktop app but also the new limitations \u2013 7GB of free storage. Sure for the vast majority of people, 7GB will be more than enough but that\u2019s a big step back in terms of what was available just a day ago (<em>editor\u2019s note: It looks like my account has gone from a 25GB account to a 7GB account)<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In either case, we\u2019ll reserve our opinions on the app itself until we get a chance to kick the tires a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/thenextweb.com\/microsoft\/2012\/04\/23\/skydrive-might-be-prepped-to-drop-free-storage-for-new-users-some-78\/\">The Next Web<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ditch the web, save your files!
