Hey that's pretty nice. I might have to try it for photo hosting. Anyone know if there are any bandwidth restrictions?

Its limited to 50MB per file.

Nice I didn't even know about this yet. And yes it works for my region cool.

But why would they offer 5GB space for free like this? It's pretty many users that can use it and 5GB each adds up quite fast, I don't understand, it's not typical of M$ to offer something like this for free.

I think he meant how much traffic can go through your account - like if you use it to post a picture for ebay and you get 10,000 hits - will skydrive choke?

That is why I said more than 172 millions as the news was a bit old (maybe 200 Millions)

You do have a great package anyway(Gmail+FF+Gspace). Google must be very widely used there and with all these people, it is probably generating a great profit based on products and ads.

Its a cool idea but the only thing I'm not liking is that the upload size is limited to 50 MB per file.

Winrar power

Uploads are mentaly fast. Think i might have to use this as my new image hosting site.

Cheers for posting about this

cool stuff.

Wont let me make my nick MaxxxRacer due to the 3 x's.. retarded.. You cant even make an email with MS that hs 3 X's anymore. My maxxxracer (at) hotmail account got grandfathered in. I really should contact them about this as it is bloody annoying.
