What about an API? I want to be able to create a webpart that exposes SkyDrive to my internal SharePoint Portal/My Sites.

Kevin,

One of my good friends works on the Live team in Redmond, and he got me hooked on their new suite of products. I like skydrive. However, I think the file size limit is a big limitation. Also, the inablility to add folders to skydrive is a downer. I've held off moving all the data on several USB thumbdrives to skydrive for backup as I'd have to go file by file. The "drag n drop" tool is nice feature upgrade.

Personally, I think Foldershare (www.foldershare.com) is the tool to look out for. I've set up all my machines to use foldershare so now I don't have to worry where I work & save my docs. I demo'd these to all my classes after returning from the MCT Summit.

Integration between the two will be the key. My Vision is that I could SEAMLESSLY add documents to folder share, sync them between my devices. Then, once a day, my foldershare libraries are backed up to skydrive.
