Maximize the use of Microsoft SkyDrive

Read this post: http://blogs.zdnet.com/igeneration/?p=2650

With Gladinet's Cloud Desktop app, you can map your Microsoft Skydrive
to a local drive letter.
This is really awesome, once you're skydrive is 25 GB or how ever big.
One drawback is the filesize,
which is limited to 50 MB per file. But rather than uploading a max of 5
files at a time, you can just drag
and drop them onto your SkyDrive. Depending on your network connection,
speed may vary, but I was
getting around 133 KB/S on a 512 KB/S COX connection. Now combined with
Cobian, you can setup
Cobian to backup to your Skydrive via Gladinet Cloud Desktop. Just
remember to set your Cobian job
to split the backup files into 50 MB files.
