apart from not having the collaborative aspect that GoogleDocs offers, seems to me to be that the permissions don't work. I have tried granting individual users access to photo albums on my SkyDrive via their e-mail address, but it simply doesn't work! Even if they receive the invitation mail, they can't open the URL. Only by adding them to my network and making the album available to my network can I have some level of control over who can see them, but that's not ideal as I lose control of who can see what.
Having said that, SkyDrive beats Picasa hands down in many ways, so will probably beat this new GoogleDocs offering too. I mean, apart from 25 GB for free, I can upload as many pictures as I want to a single album! e.g. an entire holiday's snaps.
What about Yahoo though, with it's unlimited capacity?
Or GSpace, that acted as a virtual drive even though it actually (behind the scenes) mailed the files to yourself.
