SkyDrive
The Internet storage systems, also known as the cloud , are increasingly used by all types of users. And it is that its comfort and utility can be of great help to us to avoid transporting documents, images and videos on flash drives or hard drives that can get lost or be intercepted by third parties One of these service that most attracts attention is that of Microsoft, known as SkyDrive, which will soon arrive to platform Android after months of waiting.
For now, SkyDrive is an online storage system for computers with operating system Windows, smartphones with Windows Phone 7 and also for iPhone and iPad However , the second largest platform still does not have an application that gives its users access to their SkyDrive But for a short time. And it is that they have filtered a couple of images that confirm the development of this application and the almost final appearancewhich will display.
Thus, it is possible to see that, despite the careful Holo design that can be seen in the latest versions of Android, known as Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean, where the color electric blue and minimalism are the predominant note, in the application of SkyDrive will look like the next operating system Windows 8In this way, everything is divided by squares and solid colors that refer to the different types of documentsthat can be managed, or of dark blue color, predominant in the SkyDrive logo and menus
As can be seen in the images, it seems that the management possibilities already seen in the versions for iPhone and Windows Phone 7 Thus, it will be possible to order all our files in different folders, which we can create and name from the bottom bar. It also highlights the possibility of playing files such as images, videos and sounds All of them are displayed in thumbnail, in a grid where they are ordered, but it is always possible to click on any of them to listen to them, or see in full screen all the details, without needing other third-party applications
Don't forget the documents These can be easily recognizable thanks to their icons , which help us differentiate between Word text documents, PowerPoint presentations and Excel tables It should also be noted that SkyDrive does not present problems, at least in their already available versions, when showing on the screen the documents Docx as it can happen with other applications of Internet storage
This is undoubtedly a movement that could harm the Google cloud, the well-known Google Drive And the fact is that SkyDrive is not only a complete tool , but also has a higher capacityThus, from the beginning, and completely free, it offers a total of 7 GB available, vs. Google's 5 GB In addition, users with Windows Live Messenger, Xbox Liveor any other related to Microsoft prior to the launch of SkyDrive a few months ago, can expand their space up to a whopping 25 GB Will Google expand your capacity for Google Driveand thus avoid user indentation? We will have to wait and see if these conditions are maintained for the Android application, which will arrive in the next weeks
