    Don't you think it would be extremely handy if we could get Live Writer to work with Microsoft online storage services like SkyDrive and Office Workspace?
    It would be so handy to be able to work on drafts anywhere anytime on any system (as long as you installed Live Writer, of course).
    It would like be google docs or Zoho write... only not a web app. Which isn't a bad idea either.

    Who else would like to be able to connect live writer with online storage so we can work with documents/drafts online?

    Thanks

    I have synchronised the "My Weblog Posts"-Folder with Live Mesh so it's always up-to-date on all computers and additionally online on my Live Desktop avaible. Office Workspace is mainly for - guess - Office-Documents, so it's not the right place in my opinion. :) I'm using Skydrive btw. mainly for files I want to share with others, e.g. linked in a Blog-Posting (thats not possible with Live Mesh, yet).

    Just the right service / tool for the right application. ;-)

    You can do that anyway, just use the portable version and store the files on a pendrive, if you want to save them online when you save draft, select the one to save to the blog as a draft.

    Pai and others, thanks for the input.  You're right that this would be great functionality and the suggestion to use Mesh is a good one.  Please also know that, over here on the Writer team, this is on our list of things to tackle.
