Hello Everyone, I am cross posting this to both the V iPhone and Mac Visionaries mailing lists.
With the end of iDisk, Apple's cloud storage system that came into being during the Mobile Me era, slated for June 30, 2012, I've been searching for another cloud storage system that works equally well with iOS devices, Macs, and Windows PCs. I am delighted to report that Microsoft's SkyDrive is now completely VoiceOver accessible and allows access to the SkyDrive directly from Finder in OS X and from Explorer in Windows 7. The iOS app is VoiceOver accessible, simple, and easy to use. Microsoft SkyDrive offers 7GB of free storage space, 2GB more than does Apple's iCloud. To those who may not know, iCloud, in its current implementation, does not allow for non-iWork documents and/or non Apple file syncing nor does it allow for direct access in Windows Explorer. In short, iCloud, unlike iDisk, is not meant to be used as a remote hard drive to which you may place any kind of file. To get SkyDrive on the computer platform of your choice, you will need to download a free Microsoft utility that simply configures your chosen system to see SkyDrive; it does not add any overhead to your device unlike other free cloud storage options. To get started, visit the app store on your iOS device and type in SkyDrive or, from your favorite web browser in the OS of your choice, go to http://skydrive.live.com If you don't already have a Windows ID, you will need to create one.
