Microsoft Live Folders to offer 500 megs of online storage

Microsoft has more than a dozen Live services in beta (http://get.live.com/betas/), and it's adding a couple more: Windows Live Photo Gallery beta and Windows Live Folders beta (formerly known as Live Drive).

Chris Jones from the Windows Live Experience team says:



Windows Live Photo Gallery is an upgrade to Windows Vista's Windows Photo Gallery, offered at no charge, and enables both Windows Vista and Windows XP SP2 customers to share, edit, organize and print photos and digital home videos. The initial managed beta of Windows Live Photo Gallery beta is available today in nine markets around the world so far (including the United States (English and Spanish), China, France, Germany, Great Britain, India, Japan, and Spain), with more to come.





We're also releasing Windows Live Folders into managed beta today, which will provide customers with 500 megabytes of online storage at no charge. We see this limited managed beta in the United States right now as just a starting point for us, and we'll begin collecting input from beta users.



There's coverage at TechCrunch and CNet, for example.
