Written on 25 April 2012 by Microsoft has just taken cloud computing to a whole new level with Skydrive, a file hosting service that allows you the convenience of easy file access, simple sharing, and even mobile access. With Microsoft Skydrive, getting all your files neatly in one place is easy – and you don’t even have to bring all of them with you. You can access your files – documents, photos, videos, etc – whether from your Mac, PC or phone, all without the need for cables. Initially released 4 years ago, the Skydrive was launched again recently, handing out enhanced features like the Skydrive app for iPhone and iPad and even for Android phones.
Best features
Syncing and fetching files are among the top features of this cloud storage solution from Microsoft. Storing all your files securely has never been as easy, and getting to them from any device of your choice is even simpler. Once Skydrive is downloaded on all of your devices, all of the files stored therein are immediately synced. So whether you’re working on your phone or tablet or need to procure some files stored in your desktop at home, the Skydrive allows you to “fetch” all your essentials without so much as a fuss.
Sharing files is also trouble-free, as you can upload any file to Skydrive and share them to your friends whether through email, or even on Facebook, Twitter, and even Gmail. Mobile access, furthermore, is made even much simpler. There is a Skydrive app for Windows Phone, iPhone, iPad, and Android. For handy note-taking, there’s the OneNote app which you can install on your phone and then save on Skydrive.
Ample storage
Microsoft offers free Skydrive storage of up to 7GB, while additional storage can be had for a minimal annual fee. File upload size is at a maximum of 300MB, a vast increase from its previous maximum file upload offering of only 100MB.
