我的一些帐号不能进入，因为目前该服务只对USA开放，相信通过修改account information经过验证任何passport（包括@live.cn）都可以通过修改浏览器首选语言为英文来绕过该check。

Not available in your region

Sorry, this beta service isn’t available yt to people using your language and region settings. To find out when it will be available in your region, visit the team blog.

我尝试上传了一张图片，不能预览，只能下载查看。可以public，但是也是打开Windows live folders beta，其实的外链地址很简单：只要将文件设定为共享（设置权限为任何人都可以访问）并下载URL后的“?download”删除即可。
