Microsoft takes on Dropbox with major SkyDrive update
Jibz:
It looks like this feature is disabled by default, thankfully.

Still worrying. It would have been nicer if the second factor was restricted to just the mobile phone. There are a whole lot of people working with already compromised email accounts.-nosh (April 25, 2012, 02:08 AM)

already compromised?!? then they have plenty of other stuff to worry about rather than an insecure Windows Live ID.. :D
nosh:
Files + info you've shared over email vs. every single file on your computer.
Kind of a big step up, I'd say! :P
But I agree with you in principle, they have a lot to be worried about. ;D

"GDrive" is Google's version, to be announced any day now. I love all this storage; the more companies offering free products, the more users can be selective. Go * Microsoft.
* = away

Everyone record this day. These are words that I NEVER thought I would see coming from Zaine's fingers!

You had me going there! But, none-the-less, I have a screenshot of Zaine giving praise to Microsoft. HAH!
Carol Haynes:
more of that here. apparently there is a "second factor of authentication".

When I set up the desktop app I had to enter a code received by text.
Not a terribly convincing form of security, especially as I have never seen second factor authentication via a browser.
What is the point of this code when anyone hacking your email account (and I have seen this happen many times in recent months) can access all you files.
