you’ve got the look
SkyDrive provides free use of a web-based version of Microsoft Office. If you want to design professional looking documents, SkyDrive includes an impressive array of graphic options and familiar Microsoft bells and whistles.


we like to share
Quit worrying about the latest versions of the document, what file type to save it as, or how many times it has been revised. Allowing everyone to work on the same document at the same time can increase productivity and save you time. Or, create a link to share your document with others when you need a web address to pass on. If they have a web browser and an internet connect they can view the document.


there’s an app for that
Never worry about forgetting your USB flash drive or emailing yourself a document. Any computer or mobile device with Wi-Fi or data plan can access your files through the browser or SkyDrive app. Mobile apps are available from the iTunes or Android market. No matter where you login to SkyDrive, your documents will sync.


what are you waiting for?
Technology is always changing, heading to a fully web-based world. Jump in now and get comfortable!
