Today Microsoft confirmed the release of SkyDrive app for Windows 8 and it will be getting Metro-style app.

Also releasing with this is the SkyDrive files integrated into Windows Explorer on the desktop and also ability to fetch remote files through SkyDrive.com, as per the Building Windows 8 blog.

Microsoft wants SkyDrive to "evolve with Windows 8 from a website today into a true device cloud for Windows customers,"  as per the blog. "With Windows 8, we wanted to make sure that your files would be instantly available and up-to-date as you move between PCs–without configuring add-ons or using a USB drive."

SkyDrive will also feature “Fetch” functionality, which according to Microsoft is more than synching the Cloud files with a PC. According to blog, SkyDrive will turn the entire PC into your private cloud, and wherever user logs in he can access the same feature everywhere without need to copy or setup the environment.
