Microsoft has focused on two things when it comes to the new Metro app for SkyDrive. Designing a fast, fluid, touch first version of SkyDrive that makes it easy to browse your files, and making your SkyDrive files available from any other Metro application, as well as support for the Charm Bar share function.

Microsoft will also be bringing SkyDrive support to the desktop, by allowing you to update, sync and change your SkyDrive files directly from the Windows Explorer. This allows for quick, easy access to your files without having to open a browser.

SkyDrive will allow you to sync up available quota of storage, as well as unlock more. And upload up files of up to 2GB from the Windows Explorer of SkyDrive.
