skydriver使用限制
Lots of people use Skydrive, which provides 25G free spaces.
However, Skydrive does have some limits.
1. The max size is only 50M.
Gladinet provides chunking function, which can bypass the limit. See bulletin 3 in the post here. http://www.gladinet.com/forum/Default.aspx?g=posts&t=316
这样就不能整个放置大的ISO文件，如Visual studio的安装文件等，那基本都要上G的。
不过Gladinet可以突破这个限制，现在使用的SDExploer不知道是否可以。
2. File and folder name can't start with dot (.).
File like .project will fail to upload. The only workaround is to rename the file and upload again.
Update: Gladinet supports it from build 1.2.168.
3. File and folder name can't contain the following special characters.
Forward slash (/)
Backward slash ( \ )
Colon ( : )
Asterisk ( * )
Question mark ( ? )
Less than ( < )
Greater than ( > )
Vertical line ( | )
Semicolon ( ; )
Quotation mark ( " )
All the special characters here cannot be used in file/folder name in Windows, except semicolon (;). When upload files to Skydrive, please make sure there is no simicolon in filename.
4. Cannot change file suffix
When you rename a file in Skydrive website, you'll notice that only the name section can be changed. The suffix remains the same.
5. The deepest level of subfolder nesting is 9.
For exmaple, in skydrive, you can only have folder like this: "f1\f2\f3\f4\f5\f6\f7\f8\f9". If you want to create subfolder f10 after f9, it will fail. The only workaround is to move f10 somewhere else.
最深的路径为9层，这样一些Java的工程或者类似PortableFirefox的应用程序都不能直接放到上面去了。
6. Change the timestamp of the file during upload
When upload a file to Skydrive, it changes the modified date to the current uploading date. It is in fact a limit for almost all cloud storage.
7. Size information is not accurate
For example, I have a file whose size is 2,635K. After I upload it to Skydrive in its own web interface, Skydrive reports the file size is 2.6M, which is 2.6*1024=2,662K. That's the size Gladinet shows in its virtual directory.
(See my post here for details. http://www.gladinet.com/forum/Default.aspx?g=posts&t=249)
8. No Empty file
If file size is 0, the file cannot be uploaded to Skydrive.
9. Cannot copy files to root
Files have to be stored on a folder in Skydrive. You cann't upload a file to root. From Skydrive web interface, you don't have the option to upload files when you are in root. If you try to copy files to Skydrive root via Gladinet, you'll get error '[SkyDrive]file can not be put under root folder of skydrive!'
10. The max number of characters for password is 16
When you setup a Skydrive account, you can only type 16 characters in the password. If your password is longer than 16, Skydrive signup page ignores the rest. It gives you a false impression that you have a long password. When you mount Skydrive, if you use the full long password, it will fail.
11. Does not support filename beginning with space
Certain applications may create files who name has space as the very first character. These files aren't supported in Skydrive. If you upload them in Skydrive web interface, the upload will fail.
12. 9-month deletion (thanks for countingcrow)
If no login for 9 months, the contents will be deleted.
13. The longest folder path (include the file name) is 248 characters. See the error screen when the folder path is too long.
