SkyDrive story continues
February 25th, 2011
As you maybe noticed, I really liked SkyDrive storage – I used it a lot, I recommended it to everyone, damn, I even presented it at Microsoft Technet Roadshow few years ago!
Now I am very unhappy customer. My SkyDrive has been shut without any email\notification with VERY confusing message (see below):
On a different part of a SkyDrive, I found another message that was more informative:
I’ve tried to contact technical support and use every possible way to get this solved, or at least get some information about what happened and why my account was blocked. This is extremely annoying – not only I used it to publish few of my community projects, but I had there many pictures and also don’t forget that Windows Phone is tightly integrated with LiveID (and SkyDrive!).
Few moments ago, I received first reply:

So, my account was blocked and they cannot explain why it was blocked. That’s what I call user friendly service! 
Will keep you updated and I will probably try to find another hosting meanwhile…

So what did they teach you?

Well but it looks that free services are all the same…
