It’s important, then, for SharePoint to be as broadly accepted as possible. It’s no iPhone, but pretty darn good I’d say. (That milestone was achieved at the end of Microsoft’s fiscal 2012 in June 2012.) SharePoint was one of the first Microsoft products to cross the $1 billion business threshhold. SharePoint is now one of just a handful of Microsoft products that is contributing more than $2 billion annually in revenues, according to Microsoft officials.

However, SharePoint is a big deal for Microsoft. With the release of SkyDrive client and Google Drive, backing up files to the cloud has become easier than ever.While SkyDrive offers 7GB free storage (25 GB free upgrade for loyal users), Google Drive offers 5GB free storage space for all users.Both services let you extend the storage space by purchasing paid storage.

I can’t really say w00t! for this, because my experiences with early versions of SharePoint were rather dreadful, but you know that was the early 2000s, I figure it’s better now. Microsoft officials plan to announce availability targets for the Windows 8 and iOS versions of this app ‘at a later time.”

It allows users to save SharePoint content for offline use. There’s already a SkyDrive Pro app available as part of the Office Hub on Windows Phone 8. In spite of some Microsoft officials’ claims to the contrary, SkyDrive Pro is the new name for SharePoint Workspace. “A separate SkyDrive Pro app will provide Windows 8 and iOS users with access to SkyDrive Pro. Granted, and as expected, Windows 8 will get dibs on the cool stuff first, we’re not being left out in the cold: According to ZDNet, we’ll be seeing the first iOS apps for SharePoint and SkyDrive Pro by early 2013.Īs the big SharePoint conference kicks off we’re starting to get news about SharePoint apps and advances. Underneath the SkyDrive Pro user interface is the former SharePoint Workspace 2010 services, itself derived from Groove 2007. Although Microsoft might be a dirty word around here, their software is all over the place (and that terrible song for Windows 8), and SharePoint is a big deal for a lot of people. The SkyDrive Pro client is not derived from the SkyDrive client, although it shares a similar name and most of the user interface elements exposed in Windows and Office 2013.
