Just like Google DOcs , you can use SkyDrive to edit and sync Office documents created using OneNote and other Microsoft Office products like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint on the go for free within your browser . If your sharing PC is turned on, you can access all your files using SkyDrive’s “Fetch” feature . Also you can share public links, view-only private links, and view/edit private links.

iCloud is the soul of Apple fanboys having more than one Apple devices – iPhone , iPad , iPod , iMac because of the feature to sync data into a cloud storage It had replaced Apple’s MobileMe service which was acting as a data syncing center for email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, notes, to-do lists, and other data and as of 2012, the service has over 100 million users ! iCloud is one of the elementary document-syncing solution and still it’s the simplest one to use.
