To add files to your Skydrive, it asks for some general personal information – year of birth and country – to avoid scamming systems. You should only need to deal with this webpage the first time. Once complete click “I accept.”

There is 25 GB of storage space in the SkyDrive, but one may not upload files larger than 2 GB at one time.
You can add files from your computer using this standard browsing, attaching process. (Click “Browse…” find and open your file then click “Upload.”)

SKYDRIVE IN LIVE@EDUSKYDRIVE IN LIVE@EDU2. Adding Files to your SkyDrive.Notice how the file is saved in a public or a
locked folder. If the file is public, it will be open to all who have a live.edu account to view. If locked, you must give permission for viewing. Then, share documents in the folder by editing the permission and including those people you wish to have access to the document.
It would be a good idea to create a large semester folder and sub-folders within Fall 2011, for example, for each of your courses.
