The other day there was an automatic update for SkyDrive for Windows, which added performance improvements, reliability and better integration with Windows.
Among the changes are a new logo, an updated white icon for the system tray for Windows 7 and 8, and a new status window.
A New Logo
This update brought us a new SkyDrive logo, which falls in line with the Metro look and feel that is coming in Windows 8.
A New Status Window
Part of this update includes a new status window to see what is going on with SkyDrive and whether everything is up to date. You can see this new status window by clicking on the SkyDrive icon in the system tray. This status windows lets you know if SkyDrive it up to date, provides you the time it last was updated and also information on the size and files being synchronized.
You may also notice the all white system tray icon “Cloud”.
We also see the new logo in the Windows Explorer:
Apart from the above, most of what changed in this update is not visible to users. “As with most updates, "this one improves performance, reliability, and compatibility of SkyDrive," so people depending on the service can rely on the system to automatically sync files.” – Mike Torres, from Microsoft.
If you have SkyDrive for Windows installed, then you should get this update automatically. If you don’t have SkyDrive for Windows…I recommend you go and download it now from the SkyDrive web site.
