Microsoft announces SkyDrive Metro-Style App for Windows 8. The touch friendly app will be tightly integrated into Windows Explorer on the desktop, and also use Windows 8 charms and and contracts to let third-party Metro applications store data to SkyDrive and share documents and photos with additional apps.
The app will allow Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows 8 users to drag-and-drop and upload or download data to SkyDrive right within the familiar Windows Explorer interface. Microsoft says it will limit support of uploading large files to 2GB through Explorer, and that the application will automatically sync changes to and from the SkyDrive folder in a similar way to Dropbox.
Microsoft also unveiled a new way to access non-SkyDrive files from PCs using a SkyDrive account. Fetching, available for Windows 8 PCs, will allow users to fetch documents from any PCs connected to SkyDrive.
