It was only a matter of time before this came and today was the day. Microsoft has announced that its global cloud storage service, which competes with Drive or Dropbox, is going from being called SkyDrive to being called OneDrive. Regarding Android, the application undergoes its corresponding update.
What actually occurs is a name change, since the operation of the service is basically the same. Of course, to attract more users from Redmond, it has been announced that the first 100.000 users who access OneDrive will receive a most attractive gift: 100 GB of free storage for one year. Therefore, do not waste time and try to be among the first by accessing this link.
As we have started, the Android application is updated so that the new name is appropriate. If you already have it, the process is automatic as usual. If you don't have it and you want to try what this service offers, you can get it for free at Google Play. Default, OneDrive offers 7 GB of space at no cost that it is possible to expand if the needs demand it to store from photos to videos (which, by the way, offers an option to share the latter of the most attractive).
Of course, just for the Google operating system there are some new features that should be considered when receiving the update (or proceeding with a new installation). Perhaps the most important is that it is now possible to automatic copy to the space in the cloud of the photos or videos that are made with the terminal. This is essential to compete against other services, so it can be said that OneDrive comes to Android with greater efficiency of use. By the way, those who use this new functionality will get 3 GB of additional storage space.
In short, the long-awaited renaming of Microsoft's cloud storage service has already occurred. It is now called OneDrive and its use is identical as it was known to date, so you do not have to register again. In addition, the option to earn an additional 500 MB of free space (up to a maximum of 15 GB) per friend who accepts an invitation is still present.
