Skydrive or Dropbox?

[ChrisD.]

Just noticed I've had a SkyDrive account for a while so have the free 25GB option. Currently use Dropbox for the little bits that I upload, I find it useful for hosting full res pictures for free.

I have 7.5GB but the extra capacity with SkyDrive has got me thinking, as I'd be able to host most of my 'stuff' in the cloud. How does it handle full size photo's, and who do you use and why?

I also notice that with Dropbox I get really slow transfer speeds.

Just also noticed there's no handy 'copy public link' from the right click menu with SkyDrive.

I prefer Dropbox but obviously like you have access to the 25GB SkyDrive. Right now I use neither as I don't have enough storage with Dropbox to do what I want and I dislike like the fact Skydrive forces me to move my Images folder into the SkyDrive folder in order to upload them.

I don't know why I am posting tbh. My post isn't helpful in the slightest. Sorry about that

Nah it's cool, I think I prefer DropBox also, just not sure that 7.5 GB is enough. Maybe I'll use SkyDrive for docs and Dropbox for pictures, rather than paying for something like flikr.
