Paid SkyDrive Tiers Coming?

Looks like they are testing this in Brazil. Up to 100GB extra storage.

Microsoft offering native SkyDrive clients, 125 GB storage for $55/year in Brazil | WMPoweruser

Kinda steep, isn't it?

Kinda steep, isn't it?

SkyDrive (with included 25GB free storage)
25GB - free
45GB total - $11 per year
75GB total - $27 per year
125GB total - $54 per year

Seems like a steal to me. They already give 25GB free which is well above most services, and:

Dropbox is:
5GB - Free
50GB total - $9.99 per MONTH (thats $119.88 per year for 50GB total)
100GB total - $19.99 per MONTH ($239.88 per year for 100GB total)

SugarSync is:
30GB - $4.99 / month or $49.99 / year
60 GB $9.99 / month or $99.99 / year
100 GB $14.99 / month or $149.99 / year
250 GB $24.99 / month or $249.99 / year

It depends on how much you can use for syncing with live mesh. Currently you can only use 5 GB for that purpose.

Yeah I guess you're right. Didn't realize how much the others charged. I'm holding out for unlimited storage, though (well, at least a few hundred gigs). I'll pay well for it.
