nsane.forums Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Windows Live SkyDrive currently offers 25GB free storage space to its users, but this is set to increase as soon it will allow the storage of unlimited documents and unlimited photos Windows Live SkyDrive is about to get a considerable boost to the free storage space allowed with the service. Liveside reported earlier today that the popular Microsoft service will get a storage upgrade, allowing unlimited storage space for both Office documents and photos, leaving the original 25 GB for any other files you wish to store in the cloud. Unlimited storage space for all Office documents Unlimited storage space for all photos 25 GB of free storage for everything else This increase will be added to Windows Live SkyDrive Wave 5 sometime in the near future, and will be quite considerable when you take into account the 70 million people that use the service today. There are also plans to expand the realms of SkyDrive, as Microsoft is currently developing native clients for Windows, Mac OS X, iOS and Android along with the client embedded into Windows Phone 7. Microsoft has been good at consistently increasing the space allowed for SkyDrive users. When the service launched in 2007 it only offered 500 MB, which increased to 5 GB the next year. With the launch of SkyDrive Wave 3 in late 2008 this got a huge increase to the current 25 GB – more than Google offers for free across their services and more than Dropbox's 2 GB. With unlimited storage available for documents and photos, SkyDrive should cement itself in the top spot of providing cloud storage.

CODYQX4 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Wonder if one can be sneaky and make large files appear to be office documents, sorta like how you can hide stuff in a JPG and only with a decryption tool know about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HX1 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 This is probably only possible and as a result of the information about them allowing the government access to private repositories was made public awhile back.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HX1 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 That usually will not work for file handling and uploading.. Problems do occur with encrypted files when you start re-compressing them and adding a secondary encryption.. simply breaks the file.. Steganography is a good technique .. BUT you may not know who it will work until you try it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT you may not know who it will work until you try it..exactly. the checking system could only check for the "correct" file extension. I doubt it goes very far to determine whats what.
