The Windows Live SkyDrive Team has posted a in-depth post offering a overview of what’s coming with their next update. First and foremost: Windows Live SkyDrive will be boosting everyone’s storage from 5GB to 25GB. Secondly, they want to give you more control over your files by offering you new features to do so:

Download photos directed to your to Windows Live Photo Gallery.
Download as a .zip file. Download an entire folder in one compressed file (initially available only in the United States, Denmark, and Ireland).
Move files between folders.
Copy files to multiple folders.

Sharing photos is huge these days. They’ve added almost 20 new features to make the photo experience on Windows Live SkyDrive even better such as supporting People Tags, bigger thumbnails, and a new online slideshow using Microsoft Silverlight.

You will be able to also keep your Internet Explorer favorites synced up with multiple PCs using Windows Live SkyDrive and Windows Live SkyDrive.

There is a lot coming to Windows Live SkyDrive! Check out their blog post for more details on what’s coming up.

I would like to be able to drag folders and sub-folders over to the upload window. If you have 5GB of photos having them all dumped in one main folder is too much to keep track of.

Will the file size limit (currently 50MB) be increased or removed. Having 25GB of space and only being able to upload files of 50MB or less is not really helping.

This should be interesting, MS is on the right track , still all of theses services sometime sync and interact with each other too slowly, other than that hiccup you guys gave me another reason to enjoy Live.

I love SkyDrive, but the one big thing I like to do is missing. I upload many songs onto my SkyDive but I can't play them right there. I have to download them 1st. You should be able to upload music to the SkyDrive and be able to play them in that folder, it would come in handy.
