A free online bonus if you've been with the service since before April 22
We all love free online storage and there's plenty of offer from Microsoft SkyDrive if you were signed up before April 22. Eligible users (and thankfully I was one of them) can upgrade their accounts to a whopping 25GB for no cost.
Granted, it's unlikely to supplant Dropbox as I need Linux support, but SkyDrive is a handy way of backing up photos directly from Windows Live Photo Gallery.
According to the offical announcement, this is a time limited offer but there's no mention of when it finishes so there's no reason to delay. Sign in and click on the option to Manage your storage. I was presented with a button to upgrade. It was that simple.
