Microsoft announces the integration of Skype and OneDrive: we can exchange files in the cloud with Skype

Microsoft has a wide range of applications that include utilities of all kinds. Apps that we can not only find within the Windows ecosystem. Android and iOS are an excellent breeding ground for testing the benefits of these applications which, despite having the same source, sometimes are not sufficiently well integrated

This deficit in terms of the interrelation between applications is being one of Microsoft's obsessions and to solve this handicap they work on constant updates that reach the market.The last one relates Skype to OneDrive, Microsoft's cloud storage service.

And the company has announced that has enabled the option to exchange files in the cloud via OneDrive between Skype users. The popular messaging application returns to the present, because a few days ago we saw how it was on the cover when we learned that it was becoming compatible with Amazon Alexa.

With this improvement the use of Skype is enhanced when exchanging files It will not be necessary to send the entire file in question and it will suffice 'That we can send the link corresponding to the space it occupies in OneDrive. A process that we can carry out within the Skype application itself.

"

We can carry out the process without leaving the conversation we are having Clicking on the icon with the + symbol opens a menu under the title Content and tools in which we will now find a section called OneDrive that we must selectWithin it we mark the file or folder that we want to share with the other user, who will see how the OneDrive application opens if they have it installed."

A process similar to the one we can carry out with other cloud storage systems, in the case of Dropbox, which allows sharing links corresponding to the files we have stored in the cloud instead of having to send the entire file.

This is an enhancement that is not open to all users at this time and is only available to those who can use the Skype _preview_ that corresponds to the version 8.35.76.30 of the application.
