A note about Hotmail, SkyDrive and Photos storage space

Posted by Ankur Mittal 17 November, 2008

In the latest Windows Live documentations, it mentioned several details about the storage spaces that are available throughout Windows Live services:

  1. Hotmail’s minimum storage space will be 25GB and this will be ever-increasing as required at the end of each month, making it basically unlimited storage (subject to abuse control)
  2. The ability to download e-mail attachments from Hotmail into SkyDrive - allowing these attachments to be shared with others or just kept private in your online folders
  3. SkyDrive’s storage space will also be 25GB, as reported previously, in addition to Hotmail’s storage space
  4. SkyDrive will allow uploading of up to 1000 new files stored per month - note that this only applies to newly uploaded files during that particular month, so total storage can well exceed 1000 files (it is unsure whether this also applies to Photos and those Hotmail e-mail attachments downloaded into SkyDrive)
  5. Photos, although its storage space is supposed to be shared with SkyDrive, will only offer 5GB for storage of photos. (However this may be subject to change - at least we certainly hope so. Perhaps someone forgot to update it in the documentations?)
