None. This is different, not better.
SkyDrive is a USERS DOCUMENT SPACE. It is not for setting files (by definition and agreement). It is for stuff that the user HAS INTEREST IN MANIPULATING – documents, schedules etc.
Azure and a database you write are your application storage.
The question rarely comes up. Bascially you can ask “does the user want to open these files on another computer”. If not – no reason to put them into the users space.
