One of the best free services for sharing documents, photos and other files is Microsoft’s Windows Live SkyDrive.

With 25gigabytes of ‘cloud’ storage space, Skydrive now takes advantage of the latest web technology so it’s faster, smoother and easier to use.

To make the most of the new Skydrive experience you’ll need to use a web browser that supports the new HTML5 standard which in most cases simply means making sure you have the most recent verson of your Internet Broswer software installed.

If you already have a windows live login or hotmail account, check out skydrive.live.com.
