Hello Klifton, I have 25GB of disk space on my Sky Drive but new users, I believe, will only have 7GB.
Now, as for opening a document. 1. Open your iOS SkyDrive App. Navigate until you find a document and double-tap to open it. At this point, you can read the document. In the reading mode, there are no controls on the display. To show app controls both at the top and the bottom of the display, including the option to go back and to open the document in another app through which you may edit the document, simply double-tap the center of the screen. Please note that the controls will remain visible or actionable for about 2 seconds during which time, if no action is taken, they will once again, disappear. Keep in mind that if you want to edit a document, then you must first have an app on the iOS device capable of editing the document; in my case, for example, Pages or ePrint.

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.
