Two apps released today that are must-haves for Surface for Windows RT users:

SkyDrive RT Sync
At last, you can automatically synchronize your SkyDrive account to a local folder on your Windows or Windows RT device through the Windows Store App interface rather than the desktop. The application does basic file compare to work out which files match and which need updating. One challenge is that if a file is deleted, this will be seen as a new file, so will be re-synchronized. Note, the first run will be slow which the scan of SkyDrive is done, however a local cache file is then created to speed up the process.

• Scans a local hard disk folder and synchronises it to SkyDrive
• Drag and drop support to move files between SkyDrive and your local system
• The ability through the settings to automatically select and synchronise files on opening
