It is integrated to Windows Phone and can be accessed via the web.<\/p>\n<p>Just last year, Microsoft put focus on <a href=\"http:\/\/techielobang.com\/blog\/2011\/06\/22\/microsoft-updated-skydrive-now-faster-and-better-video\/\" target=\"_blank\">Skydrive web access with a revamped on the UI<\/a>.

After reading the blog post about Windows 8, I feel that future cloud storage is not just about storing of your files. It is about utilizing the storage files in as many ways as possible.<\/p>\n<p>For Microsoft, they have already set a plan to integrate SkyDrive in Windows 8 and Windows Phone in the early development. It seems that they are already pushing themselves away from the usual cloud storage solution.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the video and let me know what you think.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fjGwfden3sU\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"335\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h6>(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fjGwfden3sU\" target=\"_blank\">click here to watch video on Youtube<\/a>)<\/h6>\n<h1><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.msdn.com\/b\/b8\/archive\/2012\/02\/20\/connecting-your-apps_2c00_-files_2c00_-pcs-and-devices-to-the-cloud-with-skydrive-and-windows-8.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here to Read More About SkyDrive Integration from Windows 8 Blog<\/a><\/h1>\n<p>[ad#img]<br \/>\n[ad#boxlist]<br \/>\n(<a href=\"http:\/\/thenextweb.com\/microsoft\/2012\/02\/20\/microsoft-confirms-massive-skydrive-upgrades-windows-8-app\/\" target=\"_blank\">source<\/a>)<br \/>\n(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wpcentral.com\/microsoft-offering-skydrive-paid-tier-upgrades-and-native-clients-pc-and-mac\" target=\"_blank\">source2<\/a>)<br \/>\n(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fjGwfden3sU\" target=\"_blank\">video<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just yesterday, I was reading a blog post about a leaked pricing on Microsoft SkyDrive.
