Microsoft launches OneDrive with new features and space expansion options
Table of contents:
Microsoft announced that it was changing the name of its cloud service from SkyDrive to OneDrive a few weeks ago. Today is the day chosen by Microsoft to launch the renewed service that comes not only with this new name but also with several news
Skydrive users will be redirected to the new portal OneDrive.com and will be able to find their account with their files as they were hosted on SkyDrive. In addition to this, the new mobile apps OneDrive are now available for iOS, Android, Windows Phone and also for Windows 8.1.
As an extra we also have the possibility to extend the capacity of our OneDrive account freein up to 5 GB. The promotion will work through invitations, that is, for each friend who signs up you will receive an extra 500 MB. In addition to this, you will also receive an extra 3GB for starting to use the camera's backup feature.
In addition to these methods, Microsoft also offers the possibility to purchase more space in annual subscription format, as already offered with SkyDrive (25 $50GB, $50 100GB and $100 200GB), but now there is also the possibility of contracting more space on a monthly basis.Rates are $4.49 for 50GB for one month, $7.49 for 100GB for one month, and $11.49 for 200GB for one month.
And finally, one of the features that the rumor mill pointed to, the support of files with several owners, modifiable by both for collaborative editing, does not reach this version, at least for now.
