Add photos and files to a folder

You can upload files on SkyDrive using the standard upload page (if you need to upload only a few files) or the bulk upload tool (if you need to upload a large number of files). Each file you upload can be up to 300 MB. If you have the SkyDrive app installed, you can upload files and folders to SkyDrive automatically by copying, moving, or saving them to the SkyDrive folder on your computer. Files you upload this way can be up to 2 GB in size.
