OneDrive
The company Microsoft has complied with the law and its own schedule when changing the name of its Internet storage service . And it is that Microsoft entered into litigation with BSkyB over the SkyDrive brand, finally being the European audiovisual content company that has retained that name. For this reason, those from Redmond have carried out a facelift and name to their storage service, calling it OneDrive , in addition to adding new functions and tweaking the applications that gave access to it from the smartphones and tablets
Among this facelift, the new version of the application for the platform Android stands out especially beyond the automatic name change that has been discovered in iOS or Windows Phone And it is that with OneDrive comes a couple of interesting news for regular users of this service, and for those looking for a safe space in which to store the photos taken from the terminal.
Thus, its main new function is the automatic uploading of photos to this service By activating this feature after the update, the application takes careautomatically to pick up the gallery images just taken and save a safe copy inside a OneDrive folder A process that makes it possible to have a copy in case the terminal is broken or stolen, accessing this content again through a computer or other device simply by entering the user data. In addition, this process is also valid for videos
Along with this feature, there is also a visual change that accommodates the new version of this service to its new direction as OneDrive and not like SkyDrive A subtle but effective touch by displaying the slightly larger thumbnail images of different folders, avoiding misunderstandings and wasting time by not having to open a file to see it full size. A point in favor also when taking into account the increasingly increasing size of the screens of current devices. In addition to these issues, joint work with other Microsoft tools has also been improvedSpecifically with its document creator Office Mobile for Android and OneNote

The good thing is that, along with these issues, Microsoft has also made changes to the general operation of this service. Thus, and in a similar way to how Dropbox already did, the ability of OneDrive to each user can be upgraded for free with 500 MB for each friend who accepts an invitation sent. Along with this, if you take advantage of the new automatic photo and video backup feature on Android, 3 GB more spaceare added automatically.
In short, a change that seeks to strengthen this storage service, now more focused on photos and videos for Android A function that It was already available in iOS but it comes with a most suggestive expansion of space.The new version of OneDrive, the old version SkyDrive, is now available free via Google Play
