Microsoft has done it one better with their latest offering called Microsoft Skydrive. I am happy it provides its own online drive where user can store just about anything.

Instead, I've now created a "network drive" that I can open via "My Computer" and do all my file transfers that way. See: http://www.newbtech.com/2009/04/live-skydrive-how-to-set-up-as-network.html for details. Images are transferred original size and you can organize the images within the folders via the web interface once they are uploaded. You can also use a 3rd party application to back up large folders (eg, your photo collection) to SkyDrive once you have it set up as a network drive. See here for details: http://windowslive.com/Connect/Post/nysicsclubhouse.wordpress.com-2f2009-2f05-2f02-2fautomatically-backup-to-skydrive-2f @Larry,

I am running on Vista and using Internet Explorer 8 I have "run" their plug in for uploading. I should now be able to drag pix to the box for uploading. I seldom am presented with the box (maybe 5% of the time). With a large # of pix to upload dragging to the box is a must. I see no way of calling up the drop box for use. When presented with the box how do you control file size? Sometimes it uploads in "origninal" size but usually I think it goes with a reduced size of Large (1600 px) or maybe smaller. I see no way to specify upload size using the drop box. Help in these areas seems nonexistant so I am lost. Have you or any of your people been able to solve any of these mysteries? I would appreciate any insight you might have.
