As compared to the Windows phones, the case of iCloud is a bit different as it does not permit a person to view stored files on it. However it does feature files syncing option and keeps the files synchronized across all the devices which are powered by the iOS.
Currently the biggest competitor of Skydrive is Dropbox and the Dropbox offers simple and direct way to share files and stored documents. Most of the critics are off the view that the people who are already using Apple’s iCloud or Dropbox will not switch to the Skydrive as they will not find it very attractive. We hope that the Skydrive app will also be loved by tech savvy people.
The version of Skydrive for Windows smartphones will be released soon but all the iPhone users can download Skydrive for iPhone right now.
