SkyDrive app is a free Skydrive app for iPhone to store and share files and documents online on any iOS device. SkyDrive is the official app by Microsoft, now for iOS devices too. SkyDrive works with your Windows Live credentials.
Skydrive can easily store your files and other documents up to 7 GB online. Microsoft has made it more easier by introducing iOS version to access and manage files and documents on your iOS devices. I tried this app on my iPad. The app worked well on my iPad. Uploading and sharing is too simple when you have SkyDrive as an online storage with you.
One of the important uses to have SkyDrive app for iPhone is to access files of your computer from iPhone. You can just upload those files to your SkyDrive, and then later access them from iPhone anytime.
iOS version comes up with a nice security option on sharing the files or any other documents. Whenever you share a file from your SkyDrive app on iPhone or any other iOS device, the app offers you the option to select the permission (view only or view and edit) to whom you are sending the file. On sharing a file or any document, the app sends the SkyDrive link of that document or folder.
The only thing which I didn’t find in iOS version of SkyDrive is creating a new document file on iPhone or any other iOS device. When you are logged in with your MSN account on your PC, you get the option to create a new document (word, excel, PowerPoint, one note) and save it on your SkyDrive storage. But this options is not available in iOS version of SkyDrive.
