SkyDrive: Free 25GB, Sync Like Dropbox

Yesterday, the official Windows 8 Blog announced that SkyDrive now can be synchronized to your desktop thru a client application. The good news is that for the existing Windows Live account, you will get FREE upgrade from 7GB to 25GB!

Scroll down below to see my comparison the SkyDrive vs Dropbox.

Below are my screenshot during the installation of SkyDrive client application on Windows 7.





 Here is my comparison:


Free Storage

7GB
(25GB for existing user!)
2GB
Maximum File Size
2GB
Unlimited (desktop)
300MB (online)
Sync Immediately upon File Change
YES
YES
Notification upon File Change
NO
YES
Sync over LAN

NO
YES
Speed Notification during Sync
NO
YES

SkyDrive won on the storage size but lack of minor things compared to Dropbox. Hopefully SkyDrive team can continuously improve this cool service!
