    hi guys/girls
    just like to hear peoples views on which is better/safer
    i use skydrive for photos,it offer 25gig free but if hotmail account is hacked or comprmised are means the photos/docs are easily got at,so would it be safer to use dropbox or similar

    Your hotmail account will not be hacked, though you could be phished ie. entering your details into a dodgy site.

    Dropbox is great because it'll sync files from a folder on your computer to everywhere else you use dropbox, skydrive does not have this facility.

    On the plus side, both are completely free so it'll cost you nothing to try them. That way you'll be able to decide for yourself which you prefer.

    I use Dropbox and is great
    Your Hotmail can be hacked if you use a simple password and don't have proper protection on your PC

    Can I be bold and throw something else into the mix? I use both Dropbox and another called Sugarsync. I find sugarsync superior to dropbox.

    If it's still only between dropbox and skydrive then dropbox has it by a mile in my mind.

    If it's between skydrive and dropbox, I'd go with dropbox.. Microsoft still seem to be figuring out what to do with skydrive and it seems to be changing everytime I look in to using it!

    Sugarsync doesn't support linux, that's me out.

    I'm very happy with dropbox, I use it all the time and even use it to send stuff from/to my phone. I've got my account to 4GB, but I'm considering buying the 50Gb for work.
