Dropping from 25GB to 7GB is going to be a bummer for new people with SkyDrive accounts.
Here is a link to the new SkyDrive app (which is available as a preview version currently)
Making personal cloud storage for Windows available anywhere, with the new SkyDrive - Building Windows 8 - Site Home - MSDN Blogs
To get your free upgrade to 25GB, it looks like you have to previously had uploaded something to SkyDrive. If you have, just simply log in and there should be a welcome screen allowing you to freely upgrade to 25GB.
Edit; This Microsoft SkyDrive app reminds me of some other service that works the exact same way. What was that again? Oh yeah, it's Dropbox.
Edit2: Unlike Dropbox, this SkyDrive app is missing a fair amount of functionality
- Bandwidth throttling
- Selective folder synchronization
- Ability to pause uploads/downloads
15GB would take me a long time.
It takes me about 2.5 hours to upload 1GB of data. So it would take me 22 hours to upload 15GB of data. This is why I play around with all of these services and end up not using them. It's just too time consuming to upload large amounts of data.
