What is SkyDrive?
SkyDrive is a feature within Eagle Mail that provides an alternative to your Jupiter account for
personal data storage. SkyDrive provides an easy to use web based approach to upload/download
your personal data files...no FTPing files like in the past. You also gain more personal data storage
space of 7GB. This ability alone is key to today's demanding workloads that require larger file sizes and
more of them saved in an area that is easy to access anywhere you are.
SkyDrive also has "Microsoft Office" components like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote built right in. This means
that you don't have to own a copy of Microsoft Office or any components of the suite in order to create, edit, or view these
files. If you need to create a Word document you can do so just by selecting 'Word' from within your SkyDrive and giving
it a file name...it's that easy.
Supported browsers include: Internet Explorer 7 or later for Windows, Safari 4 or later for Mac, and Firefox 3.5 or later
for Windows, Mac, or Linux.Office Web Apps are entirely Web-based, and there's
no additional software to download or install.
