Online FREE storage space

Microsoft is offering free personal and secure storage on the Web of a whopping 5 gigabytes to users registered for its Windows Live services.
Users of its Hotmail e-mail service can access this virtual hard drive on the web using the same name and password. The service, which was in a beta
form with limited storage and went live last week across the world, can be accessed at

<http://skydrive.live.com/>

Users can upload and store their files in three folders: Personal, which they alone can access; Share with friends, which will be open to designated
friends who are also registered Windows Live users; and a Share with the World, where one can place files that are open to the wider public to
view. There is a generous limit of 50 MB for any one file.

Microsoft has developed an online workspace for FREE as a place where you can use it to group related information for work, school, or personal projects. This new set of online technology tools is similar in concept to Zoho [http://www.zoho.com] and Google Apps [http://www.google.com], both of which are also FREE.

Information from the website describes how to:

Organize a study group

•    Work together on assignments and share notes from class
•    Keep a shared schedule and task list for your group
•    Access them from almost any computer with a Web browser
•    No more flash drives or sending yourself documents via e-mail

Keep track of important school information
•    gather feedback on a document, report, or presentation
•    Manage schedules from sports to registration deadlines
•    Track your grades and progress toward degree requirements

Coordinate with club or team members

•    Post and manage schedules (for sports, clubs, organizations, etc.)
•    Share lists of who brings what (no more e-mails back and forth)
