Microsoft is now entering the file sharing platform with the upcoming Windows Live Folders. The homepage looks interesting, right now its in a private beta, so I couldn’t really register and see for myself what exactly was on offer at Live Folders.

Here are some features of Windows Live Folders

Personal

• Use personal folders to back up important files that are only for you.
• Get to your files from any computer with Internet access by signing in with your Windows Live ID.



Shared

• Shared folders make it easy to collaborate with coworkers or classmates.
• You decide how much control each person has over each shared folder. Some can just read what’s there: others can add and delete files.
• Everyone who is sharing uses their own Windows Live ID.



Public

• With public folders, anyone on the Internet can view your files, but they can’t change them.
• Want to show your public files to others? Just send them a link! Each folder and file has its own web address.

Here is a small demo video of Windows Live Folders.

P.S. : Special Thanks to on10.net for the demo video

Seeing the demo Windows Live Folders looks impressive. Looks like a good competition to my personal favourite Box.net
