Store and organize your private documents and
other files in a secure location in the cloud or on
your company’s SharePoint servers.
Share files and folders with other people in your
organization and give them permission to review
or edit the content.
Synchronize files and folders in your SkyDrive Pro
and other SharePoint libraries with your computer
or mobile devices, so you can access your content
offline.

SkyDrive Pro, which is not configurable, even
for a fee
Kiosk customers have no Personal Site, and
can only use SkyDrive Pro to sync SharePoint

determine the right solution
