    Registering with Hotmail is very straightforward and gives you a Windows Live ID you can use with integrated services such as Messenger and Office Web Apps.

IDrive Basic – Free Online Storage

To get the most out of iDrive, you need to use two distinct tools – IDrive Classic and IDrive Explorer. The former a back-up component – is the means by which you put files on the site.

The latter, while optional, is actually the better tool because it turns the free 2GB of online storage space that IDrive gives you into a virtual drive and lets you access content through Windows Explorer. but because IDrive Explore can only be used for restoring files, you need to use IDrive Classic to put files on the site in the first place.

Regardless of this convoluted set-up, the two tools work well together and, by selecting the Continuous Backup mode in IDrive Classic, you can keep information permanently synchronised to IDrive’s servers. Backed-up files can also be accessed from the IDrive web interface, so you can get at them from anywhere. Sadly, there are no options for sharing your files with other people.

How it can be improved:

Rather than maintaining two separate tools for the same service, IDrive should combine them. It would also be good to be able to drag and drop files to and from the IDrive Explorer virtual drive
