First look: Microsoft Office 2013

SkyDrive Pro is a new feature of SharePoint which gives each user their own storage area with a user interface similar to that of the public SkyDrive service. A key feature of SkyDrive Pro is that you can synchronise files with a PC for offline support. This synchronisation is based on an Explorer add-in, so that it appears as a folder on the PC, rather than using the SharePoint Workspace feature first introduced in Office 2010. SharePoint Workspace is also present in the preview though, suggesting that these different approaches to offline support will co-exist.
