Microsoft announced Tuesday that they are in the beta testing phase of a new online storage service. The service will include storage of up to 500 MB of storage for users.
This is in an effort to keep up with sites like Google, who offer 2gb of e-mail storage, and AOL, who offer 5gb of storage for its users.
Later this summer the beta testing will include 5,000 people. ALthough earlier called “Live Drive” the software giant may decide upon “Windows Live Folders” a much lamer name.
There is no indication now that Microsoft will limit intergrated access to Windows users like Apple does for it’s .Mac account. Apple’s offering costs $99 a year. Google offers their service for free. No word on pricing from Microsoft.
