Using Skydrive

May 2012

Skydrive is an online file storage service from Microsoft ( Skydrive homepage). It  operates in a Dropbox like fashion to sync files and folders between cross platform devices including Windows and Mac computers, iPhones, iPads, Windows Phones, and the web. It has three major advantages in the University environment. 1) More storage space than iCloud, Google Drive, or Dropbox; 2) Very easy to use, even easier than FTP and supports more devices; and 3) An existing relationship between Microsoft and Ohio State already exists so all students already have accounts. Skydrive will be incorporated into the next version of Microsoft Office for quick editing of your cloud based documents.

Skydrive offers 7 GB to all BuckeyeMail users (undergraduate and graduate students) and to anyone else for free. This is more than Google Drive (5 GB) or Dropbox (2 GB).

Skydrive makes no promises about backing up your files. Deletions will automatically sync to other devices. Use other means for backups.

Requirements

Windows 7, Vista, Mac OS X Lion, iOS 4.0 or greater. Visit the Skydrive site for download or click the logo below.

Signing In

Skydrive will take your already existing BuckeyeMail Account id and password. This functions as a Windows Live account. If you do not have a BuckeyeMail Account, you would need to create your own Windows Live account.

Security

Note that Skydrive has a Remote Access feature when running in Windows. This allows you to access all of the files on the computer while logged into Skydrive on the web remotely and logged into a computer running Skydrive locally. For example, you left yourself logged in at home and are on the web in Derby Hall. Skydrive allows you to email yourself an access code and view all of your files, not just Skydrive files, from the web.

Settings can be changed from the cloud icon:

To turn the Remote Access feature off, uncheck the following "Fetch Files" box in Settings (feature not applicable to Macs).

By default, Skydrive will automatically login when you login to your computer. To disable that feature, uncheck the "Startup" checkbox (Windows) or the "Open at login" checbox (Mac).

Restrictions

Skydrive will only accept files up to 300MB via the online interface and up to 2GB via the Skydrive app.
