Sky Store & Share facility
« on: Wednesday 17 June 09 13:35 UTC (UK) »
Has anyone mastered the STORE & SHARE facility offered by SKY?

I have managed to upload stuff, and once I clicked something that let me see exactly what files I had uploaded, but I haven't yet discovered how to download files which I have uploaded.

Has anyone got to grips with this tool?

One drawback for me is the cool [sigh] graphics which causes help messages to fade and disappear and then change to something else as you are reading them.

Any help would be appreciated

I haven't used it as I prefer to use the Sky Drive from Microsoft that offers 25GB of free space and it is a painless experience to both upload and download from it:

Sorry I can't help but I thought I would point out that there are better sites out there.

Your account type determines which method you use:-

Quote
Restoring individual files
Use the "Restore Data" wizard in the Store & Share Backup Manager (available with Standard and Premium accounts) to select the individual files or folders that you would like to restore. Alternatively if you have a Starter account: 1. Select the file you'd like to download to your computer from the Store section, 2. When the box appears select Save. 3. Select where you'd like to save the file on your computer.

Thanks to both of you.

Ohhh I have been debating whether to use this or not to back up some of my downloaded info (paranoid about computer losing it all)

I have just loaded some up there and it seems pretty painless!
Lol and I just realised, with all the email addresses I have - work, home, plus one mum has that she never uses - I potentialy have about 150gb free storage!
