If you have an Apple iPad or iPod Touch, consider downloading the free SkyDrive app from the Apple iTunes Store. The SkyDrive app enables you to view your SkyDrive files, delete them, move them to different folders, add folders, send photos or videos to SkyDrive, and open files (if you have a support app for that file type).
