If you have Microsoft Office 2010 you can upload documents directly to your Windows Live SkyDrive from Excel, OneNote, PowerPoint, and Word. On the Save & Send tab in Backstage view, click Save to Web, and then sign in to Windows Live (in OneNote use the Share tab in Backstage view, select the notebook, click Web, and then sign in to Windows Live; if the notebook is not in the OneNote 2010 file format, you must convert it to use OneNote Web App). For details, see Save a document to your SkyDrive from Office 2010.

If you do not have Office 2010 you can still store files in SkyDrive, where you can use Office Web Apps to view and edit them in a web browser. Upload them to SkyDrive as follows.
- Go to http://skydrive.live.com and sign in with your Windows Live ID. If you don’t yet have a Windows Live ID click Sign up to get one.
- At the top of the browser window click Add Files, and then click a folder or create a new folder. Keep in mind that you can make folders available to different groups of people; consider creating folders based on who you want to share documents with.
- For each document you want to upload, click Browse and locate the file.
Tip If you have a lot of documents to upload, click Install the upload tool. When the Windows Live upload tool is installed you will be able to select multiple files to upload.
