Brooklyn, NY | Because SkyDrive is not for backups but for syncing.
2 very different things.

| Wrong! With the desktop Apps from Windows And GASP even OS X, it "mapps a network folder" where it keeps stuff in sync. Nothing is stopping you from moving all your data to the SkyDrive folder and it getting auto uploaded seconds after a change in any file is detected. Or using that folder to do a backup. |

I started using it when it had 25 GB for free. Now its only 7, but still quite roomy. The only big downside is its speed (lack of). It tends to be limited to about 1 MB/s upload and it pauses a second or two between files. |

mentioned, but not talked about becuase it is not a backup solution, but it's popular enough that most people would know about it and useful to use as a contrast.

That was the OP's point here, that it wasn't mentioned at all. Dropbox was. |

Re: Microsoft SkyDrive Oh look, Microsoft explicitly and actively does not want people to use SkyDrive for backup.
If you use it for that, you can end up with your account disabled or files deleted.

I'd say this is as anti-backup solution as any I've seen.
