    The latest online offering for those with a Windows Live account, is the SkyDrive - 25GB in online storage.

    I'm a little skeptical on security (but I'm skeptical about most things these days) but let's face it - having 25GB of storage at your fingertips at the opening of a browser session - for free - without having to lug around a USB key or similar... seems like a plus in the armoury to me!

    Anyone else starting to use it?

    yep I use it to host my blog word files, theres a public and private section on skydrive, of course security is still a good concern but then as long as you dont go keeping all your bank account details on it then you should be alright. Good for random docs and things with low security concerns.

    Yes I have been using it for a while now, like you Arroryn I was a little unsure about the security, I find it good as a central place to keep some documents that I may need at another computer (that have internet access of course).

    Same - been using it for a while now, although I generally use my flash drive much much more.
