    Microsoft's OneDrive now available globally

    By Staff Writer on February 19, 2014 Business, News, Products

    Chris Jones, Corporate Vice President, Windows Services, has announced the global availability of OneDrive. Microsoft unveiled its replacement name for SkyDrive just a few weeks ago as a result of a lawsuit filed and won by UK pay-TV provider BSkyB over the rights to the Sky brand name.

    OneDrive is Microsoft’s cloud storage service for files, including photos, videos, and documents, and it’s available across the everyday devices. Other prominent competing products available are Dropbox, Box and GoogleDrive.

    Apart from the name change, Microsoft is rolling out several new OneDrive capabilities, including automatic camera backup for Android and the ability to share and view videos just as easily as photos. They’ve also added new ways for users to earn more storage—on top of the 7 GB already  given for free. Customers who refer friends can now receive up to 5 GB (in 500 MB increments) for each friend who accepts an invitation to OneDrive.  You will even be given 3 GB just for using the camera backup feature. OneDrive comes with  a new monthly payment plan, if you’d like a little more flexibility in how you use your storage.

    To celebrate the official launch of OneDrive, today Microsoft will also give 100,000 people 100 GB of free storage for 1 year. That’s 10 PB of free storage—enough storage space for a photo of everyone on the planet.

    If you want to be one of those 100,000, keep an eye on @OneDrive for clues.

    To subscribe to OneDrive, all you have to do is head over to www.OneDrive.com and log in.
