SkyDrive, at 5gb, officially out of Beta, and offered in 38 countries

We just posted on what we had noticed about an increase for SkyDrive storage to 5gb, and we're pleasantly surprised that the SkyDrive team has just posted on their blog, announcing that indeed, SkyDrive is now at 5gb, that it's out of beta, and that it is now available in 38 countries:

SkyDrive is also available now in 38 countries/regions. In addition to Great Britain, India, and the U.S., we’re live in Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Denmark, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Finland, France, Guatemala, Honduras, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Norway, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, Portugal, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, and Turkey.

Again, great work SkyDrive team (and don't be afraid to post once in a while!).

But as far as I can tell, SkyDrive still won't let you upload FOLDERS, not just files.  Until you can upload folders by SkyDrive, I'm sticking with www.xdrive.com (I think owned by AOL).

But... if I have to go to the site, and can't browse it within Explorer, it's pretty useless!

It's out of beta, and they still haven't added the ability to download more than one file at a time?! :-S

Great!, Now all i need is some kind-of integration with Explorer ( something similar to Office-Live Add-on for MS Office ) to easily upload/update and download anyfiles.

I think these features will more interated with Windows 7, it would be nice to have an add-on for Vista.

To MellonCollie:

You can upload more than one file at a time, but it's much easer to upload a folder

A client or intergration with Windows Explorer and a progress meter if uploading with web interface instead of that silly ball game would be great.
