I'd have to disagree with you Jay, there's endless threads of people moaning about skydrive especially when some of the initial useful functions where removed.
On my home network I will have two machines on skydrive, rather than using the network to sync the files especially when on a wired network you have good speed for files it will be adament to download the files to the second computer via the internet and not the homework, whereas drop box utilizes the network from my experience.
When it was foldershare it wad brilliant at doing all the jobs, now it wastes bandwidth.
Also the way it maps files for syncing is terrible, doesn't take into account opened files on its native os sometimes the map gets confused and you end up with duplicates or missing files... also why drop 256bit encryption.
So many good features dropped once ms took over, also the fact that xp is dropped so early which was a hard blow.
Dropbox etc don't scrutinize you for your os. For individual use for just backing up skydrives ok but for projects and multiple client use I'd say its terrible.
Also quit your moaning I used your dropbox referell
