Is there an easy way to point a specific video to other people, assuming a user may have a lot of them on his account ? Like "hey gaf take a look at my Forza video #Xba7f42, it's so cool !"

Well I absolutely love it. I honestly don't see any issues with it at all and you didn't even explain any negatives.
Pretty much how I view it. Skydrive gives us a convenient location to store it and can either share it from there or download it to use elsewhere. Can't see anything negative about it at all.

Definitely cool, thanks. I can see it getting much use on forums.

I mean maybe it didn't work in a business context or something but for personal use it seems perfectly fine IMO.
SkyDrive is an excellent service. Fast, multiplatform, and flexible. Share why you think it sucks?
it's good that it doesn't rely on third party services, but it would be nice to be able to choose to use third party services rather than be forced to use skydrive. At least it is pretty simple to download them for rehosting.

Then don't use it?

Haven't used any of the 7gb apart from a couple of photos. Will come in handy, cool
Well, the way I understand it, I can't not use it?
There doesn't seem to be a way to post directly to FB without uploading to Skydrive first.
And as someone who loves what MS is doing, that seems like a bit of an attempt to sell more Skydrive space to me.
every Xbox one gets 5gb skydrive storage I believe
Well, download it from skydrive, delete from skydrive and, if you want it shared, upload to youtube?
Would that be ontop of any existing storage we have? I have about 8 gig with my hm account.
There were two options for.upload in the video, perhaps with the option of just uploading to the Xbox service, you can then link to it from Xbox.com on facebook or something.
yes

So essentially Xbox vids can be accessed from the PC, great.
There's no reason why that would matter, it's just uploading your video files to Skydrive so you can get them off easily.

Yup. It's cool that they're letting you access the files, but an instant upload to twitter and Facebook like the PS4 would have been nice too.
It's not like you can't download the videos from Facebook for the PS4.
Not to mention you can only record up to 5 min on the X1.
And still no word on the twitch streaming!

Is this going to available day one, or is this an upcoming feature?
That's 4 extra steps including one device change compared to uploading it to the desired service directly.
I hope there are several options.

I tried to do that over the weekend and could not figure out how to download the video off my facebook account. I guess I could have had facebook package all my data up in a zip and grab it that way but there didn't seem to be a way to grab the file once it was on my wall.

I'd never upload a gameplay video to Facebook. Maybe it's just me but I don't want to share my gaming moments with everyone I know. Only a few gaming friends.

I currently have 45 GB of storage for SkyDrive (for free), so this should be plenty for the moment.
How do you know your quotas on Skydrive by the way ? I should have a lot of free space there, but never exactly knew how much.
*edit - nm, just found it on the web page. Seems like I "only" have 7Gb total, I thought I had additional space through my last phone purchase. I'm only using 15% of it right now, though.
That and most people on my facebook page wouldn't even be interested in seeing all the videos I would spam them with.
To me, unless they came up with another bespoke solution to this, Skydrive seems to be the best option available to us. Plus, there would be additional hoops of then trying to download that video from either Twitter or Facebook I would assume?

Been using it(and Azure) at work for for years, never had a single issue......skydrive rocks for sharing between different devices and people especially it's windows\PC native.

Doesnt facebook compress the shit out of the video anyway? So there would be no point uploading hd footage?

If this is available outside of the paywall to consumers on Day one, i think its a pretty good value proposition for those who will be buying an xboxone.
Then make a group of just your gaming friends and share to only those people.
You don't have to share anything with everybody on facebook. You can edit to whom you post specific things.
Yea that's possible, but Facebook/Youtube have some shitty compression
Hopefully Sony will add something like this in the future for PS4.
More interested in streaming than captured though.
The trick with SkyDrive is to go through every once in a while and delete the bad or useless pics and videos. That action alone frees up so much space.

Huh, I have 25GB of storage on SkyDrive. Why do I not just have 7?

I know that. I already have a closed group on Facebook with my gaming friends. I don't think the PS4 allows you to share on that group's page directly though.

That would be huge blow if they don't have it at launch. I love the feature on the PS4. Hopefully it's there on the XB1.

Hey man, even if you don't like to post vids on Facebook, instantaneous upload is pretty nice. They just need to give you an option for Youtube in the future.
Yes click on the file in skydrive and it can generate a copy and paste link and make it a public file to post anywhere
Iirc, People who upgrades from a hotmail account in a certain time window got a free boost to 25 a year or two ago
