Intuitive user training has become an essential part of enterprise operations as more small and medium-sized businesses take advantage of the benefits of cloud technology. Transferring valuable company data to remote hard drives that are easily accessible from any Internet connection is a complicated process. In fact, the technology blog The Next Web said a large number of U.S. companies have made shifts in recent years to employ hybrid solutions rather than making a more drastic switch to the cloud.

Among the many online storage services available for both individual consumers and private enterprises, Microsoft SkyDrive continues to be one of the most reliable tools for employing this nuanced hybrid strategy in which companies retain many of their anchored data while simultaneously using the cloud for specific purposes.

What's so great about the SkyDrive?
The online publication Maximum PC said SkyDrive users are automatically eligible for 7 gigabytes of free storage. Businesses also have the opportunity to upgrade that amount to 50 gigabytes at a relatively affordable price compared to other options like Google Drive.

Not only is SkyDrive affordable, but the tech blog Make Use Of said it also integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Office. Having to account for changes in operating system technology is often one of the most complicated aspects of the user adoption process. However, companies that are already familiar with the Windows operating system can have a much easier time adjusting to new hybrid cloud solutions by choosing SkyDrive.
