[nbos] Skwyre Preview Edition now available!

[NBOS Support]

Hi Mike,

There's no upload progress display yet, so you may have to give it a bit of 
time to complete based on the size of the file you are uploading.  Once its 
finished, it will show up in the list of files.  If there's an error 
uploading, it should give you a message.
