Microsoft upgrades SkyDrive, reminds us of its place in the cloud (video)

Redmond has unveiled updates to SkyDrive, including speed boosts, a revamped UI, and improvements to photo viewing. The latest version of the almost four-year-old service has cut wait time on actions like clicking folders, from six to nine seconds down to 100 to 300 milliseconds. The updated software also features H.264 video playback, a navigation system more akin to desktop browsing, and a single view for files, docs, and photos. Let Microsoft hold your hand through a video tour of its cloud below.

It is really much faster than the previous version. I need to have a closer look on SD as a good alternative to Dropbox.

Its is so much better than before. before the UI was really bad and not very user friendly.
