Today you might take notice to a few cool changes in Windows Live SkyDrive. The Windows Live SkyDrive Team has released an update bringing the following new features for our enjoyment:
- Users can now leave comments on files.
- New Recent Comments page for comments left recently on files shared in Windows Live SkyDrive.
- Users now have the ability to leave descriptions on files (captions for photos).
- Ability to manage favorite websites in Windows Live SkyDrive.
- New navigation control (called the “browsing widget”) to navigate between files in a folder.
- Ability to change folder views from “icon view” to “detailed view”. For photos you have the added “photo thumbnails” view.
