Microsoft SkyDrive now bigger, better, faster

[axxo]

^^^ I wonder. I use the ActiveX control to upload files, upload speed is good, so is download speed but yeah no resume. SkyDrive has kicked rapidshare out of business, now if only it could support Resume all the other file sharing sites willl go out of business .

Did I mentioned SkyDrive's integration with Windows Live service....


GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Microsoft.

what skydrive gives now been there in mediafire for ages.....added to it you get unlimited storage...
tell by what means skydrive is better why should one opt for no real benefit?

I wouldn't wanna bet on that! MS is known for snooping around.. I wouldn't trust MS with my private or confidential data.

Than you should also not trust Google. They keep also your information including credit card details, interest and other personal details.

So what's your point? Since one must not trust Google, Microsoft is safer? Meh, nice logic.

Data is only as safe as your watch is. It can break, get lost, stop functioning, same works with data storage mediums too. Safe, my _.

now if only it could support Resume

i repeat

you are making different meaning.
I said, if you cant trust MS than you cant trust Google also. Than, whom will you trust..rapidshare of megaupload ???

If we suspect Google or MS or yahoo, than we must leave using their E-mail and other services. So, have some faith on top web players.

Rapidshare is a top web player is what I know? so my data is safe

Guys, can anybody tell me, if i put a picture in one of my public folders and then link to that picture on my commercial, or personal website, blog etc, is it possible?? and Is it legal according to Microsoft's licensing policy?

I dont know how legal is this.........
But yes it is possible.

But they dont give a direct url to the file. Yesterday, i wanted to host a image on my skydrive account so that i could use it as the banner of my blog for Google Adsense based custom search. But google refused to take the url that is provided on the skydrive for direct linking. It shows an error that plz give a url to a valid image file. If you place a file in th "public" folder then in the url they have something like:

_http://cid-xxxx.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/public/myimage.jpg

(ignore the underscore) I think this is what causing problem. Any comment on that?

Why not? you can link to it without any troubles. I hope you are not speaking about "hotlinking"- to display images inline in a web page(like imageshack thumbnails or pics are displayed): eg

<img src="*skydrive.live.com/Krazy_About_Tecnology/Public/image.jpeg">

Apart from the fact that they may not allow hotlinking, it is possible that they may hide the actual link via some scripts!

Nice name though. SkyDrive.

 

[Krazy_About_Technology]

@rohan: The method you specified didn't work, i get an error page if i use it with my live id. But i found a way, By going in the folder and clicking on the image opens it in the skydrive interface, but if we click again on this opened image, it opens the static url where the image is saved.

I still dunno that its legal to use an image like this to display at the top of my adsense based google search page. Anyone??

 

[victor_rambo]

Just read their Terms of use / Acceptable use policies!

 

[axxo]

am still not sure whether hotlinking is allowed..
