Microsoft Releases Share Point Light In the Cloud with Office Live

February 26, 2009 13:52 by gemery

OK I know this is a bit of a strech here, This product was released last year but I think the new plug ins is what really make it powerful.

The Office Live Workspace Team has just introduced new features into the Office Live Workspace service – a free service which serves as sort of a “SharePoint-Light” repository for saving, sharing, commenting on, and organizing your files. In addition to the service’s expansion to Eastern Europe, they’ve also added in some useful features which make document management a bit easier. I have used this before but this is where it really hit home.

The the best upgrade of them all is the upgrade in storage capacity. With 5 GB of free storage, I can safely say that I’m able to archive my entire collection of personal documents to the cloud. Which really hit home this weak. When I re-imaged my moms computer and she didn't have a backup startegy for her docs. I simply installed the office live add-in to here office sweet and bam she was rock and rollin.

You can store almost any files on Office Live, not just Microsoft Office docs – the only blocked files are those that could act as executables (see exception list) – a decision made to protect users. I cant wait for office 14.

Have fun and for gods sake start a back up plan.
