It is also rumoured that Microsoft are set to raise the file size limit for uploads from 100Mb to 300Mb, which will make SkyDrive much more suitable for video storage.  Lastly there is talk of the company preparing Windows and Mac-specific versions of a SkyDrive app, though it is already that some basic SkyDrive functions are already part of Windows 8.  These will be necessary though as the current web-interface for uploading files to SkyDrive is unfriendly and featureless.
