I am part of the Windows Champions Program. As a Windows Champion I received loan of equipment from Microsoft to assist me in evaluating Microsoft products and services for my blogging activity.
Pretty exciting news from Windows!! You may remember SkyDrive? Well they have made some MAJOR improvements and now it is OneDrive!
If you are already an active SkyDrive user than you are already good to go and may have already been using it! All your files are there, all you have to do is sign in to OneDrive. For those who aren’t already using SkyDrive here are some pretty awesome reasons why you should:
- You get 7GB of storage for free just by signing up! Plus more when your friends sign up!
- You can use OneDrive on Windows, Mac, iOS, Windows Phone, Android, and Xbox!!! (THAT’S HUGE!!)
- You can view and edit your Office documents in your web browser
- If you are collaborating with others you can BOTH edit Office documents at the same time
- Speaking of collaboration you can do it whether they are PC, Mac, or web
- You can create and share folders
- You can set all your devices to automatically back up your photos to OneDrive. This includes Windows 8.1, Android, iOS, and Windows Phone!!
- Make, edit, and share online slide shows
- Add captions and geotags to your pictures
- Post photos directly to your Facebook page
- Get organized!
I’m going to be honest. Even as a Windows Champion Ambassador I wasn’t really using SkyDrive because I couldn’t import my iPhone pictures automatically. I use my phone a lot to take pictures so it is a HUGE deal to me that now OneDrive is compatible with so many devices. Big enough deal that I have switched my settings over to use it full time!
Plus if you sign up today you will automatically get 7GB of free storage and other opportunities to earn more! For instance I have been sharing my referral link through out this post because I love to take pictures of my adorable boys so I need all the storage I can get.
Do you use OneDrive? What is your favorite feature?
