What's the maximum file size there? I'm always put off by the limit on the file size one can store at these free storage sites.

50 MB

That's great for storing email

You can also check out the new FolderShare beta that just started recently. It would be great for online backups after a reformat/reinstall or to keep files in sync between computers.

Yeah, I'd agree with that one and think that MS should add the ability of photo uploading to Skydrive to WL Photo Gallery. Google's Picasa is much nicer though for uploading photos.

Picasa is schweet. This is pretty cool though, considering it's from Microsoft.
