Microsoft Posts Guide for Moving Google Docs to SkyDrive

Written by Alan Saturday, 4 February 2012 07:00

While Google struggles with bad press and user fear surrounding their new Privacy Policy the Windows Live team at Microsoft are taking advantage of the situation.  In the past we have seen the Windows phone guys jump on Android problems by giving away Windows Phone handsets to frustrated Android users, and now Microsoft is taking another shot at Google.

Yesterday the team that runs Windows Live, the suite which SkyDrive is a part of, posted a new video to their YouTube channel giving detailed instructions on how users can move their Google Docs files over to SkyDrive.  SkyDrive contains the Office Web Apps as well, which is Microsoft’s consumer alternative to Google Docs.  The process for moving your documents over is pretty simple and those with Windows Phone handsets may want to consider doing this thanks to the mobile operating system’s native Office app and integration with SkyDrive.

You can watch the video posted below or head over to YouTube, where you will find many more videos from Windows Live.
