Store photos, videos and documents at one place - Microsof unveils free service OneDrive

Microsoft has globally launched its free cloud-based data storage service OneDrive - formally known as SkyDrive. OneDrive gives people a place in the cloud to store photos, videos and documents that are accessible by various devices. It comes with updates and new features for Windows Phone-, iOS- and Android-based devices, as well as for the Xbox gaming console. OneDrive offers 7GB of free storage.

New features that accompany the availability of OneDrive include automatic camera back-up for Android - making it easier for users to get their photos from their Android phone to their other devices - and video transcoding, making videos as easy to store, view and share as photos. Sharing photos directly from the service on social networks such as Facebook is definitely one of the most popular features of OneDrive!
