Us older hotmail users get 25 GB of free storage. I love my sky drive, the only issue I have, is when trying to open a document through the IOS app on my iPhone 4s, it won't open. I can look at what is there, but when I double tap to open, nothing happens. Any suggestions on why this is? On May 23, 2012, at 3:46 PM, M. Taylor wrote:
