skydrive changing to 7gb but...

[sting7k]

When did they drop it down to 7GB?

I just did the upgrade though and have the 25GB, I never even noticed it dropped but it did say 7GB. I'm not really using mine right now but in the next month or so I am going to decide on a new cloud strategy for backing up my photos and music and SkyDrive will probably be part of it.

They just did it a few days ago (I think). I looked last week sometime and had 25GB then looked 2 days ago and had 7GB.

Wow, thanks for the heads up on this! 25 vs 7gb is huge! Was able to keep the 25gb for both myself and my wife.

I believe it works like this: if you have more than 4gb stored on SkyDrive, it will automatically opt you into the 25gb. If you have less, you must manually opt in for the 25gb. Those without an existing account get the 7gb.

Ah, that makes sense. I had 6.6 GB and there was no upgrade option; it just stayed at 25 GB.

I like the PC app. If only there were a SkyDrive app for BB, I think I'd cut DropBox loose.

Well, that's cool! I just tried it and noticed that it resizes photos when uploading, unfortunately. MS seems to be obsessed with the idea that we should resize photos when storing them in SkyDrive. In any case, thanks for the tip!
