On
Monday June 23rd 2014, Microsoft had decided to increase the Storage
space on their Microsoft OneDrive
Cloud Storage from their measly 7GB to 15GB by July 2014, dropping prices in
the process as described in my blog article
entitled “Microsoft
rewards OneDrive users with 15GB Free Storage - How Office 365 users can get
1TB Free Storage as they Chase Google Drive”.
Then
on Thursday September 11th 2014, Microsoft OneDrive became more like Google Drive or Dropbox, my perennial favorite sharing
option that I use all the time as announced officially on their OneDrive Blog in the article “OneDrive
now supports 10 GB files”, published September 10, 2014 By Jason Moore, OneDrive.
Folks,
queue the song Break Free
by Arianna Grande featuring DJ Zedd!
This
as you can now upload files as large as 10GB in size as well as upload entire
folders of files that size as stated in the article “ONEDRIVE
NOW LETS YOU UPLOAD FILES AS LARGE AS 10GB, ADDS LINK SHARING, MORE”,
published September 11, 2014 By Konrad Krawczyk, DigitalTrends.
Even
more Google Drive-cloning news; you
can now share links to these files, which really is a feature that started with
Dropbox as described in my blog article
entitled “How
to use Dropbox, Google Drive and Sound File Sharing Websites to Share and
Promote your Content online - Sharing is Caring”.
Good
to note too that Dropbox can also
upload folders and allow you to create links to your folder as stated in my blog article
entitled “How
to share Public Dropbox Folders, allowing Downloads from your Dropbox Account -
Sharing is Caring up in the Clouds”.
Microsoft OneDrive –
10GB Uploading and Sharing and Streaming larger files
I’ve
really started using Microsoft Outlook only recently and I’ve already activated
my Microsoft OneDrive account as I’d
explained in my Geezam blog article
entitled “Skype-ing
from your Browser now possible as WhatsApp conspires to kill International
Calling”.
Synching
speeds will be the new battleground to be distinguished from the completion and
Business Customer will be very pleased when this feature rolls out to them as
well. Support for the following Operating Systems is thus in the pipeline:
1.
Windows 7
2.
Windows 8
3.
Windows 8.1
4.
Apple Mac
Probably
because of the popularity of sharing larger media files such as 3D UHDTV Files
and Lossless Compression music files such as FLAC Files for use on the US$700
Sony Walkman NWXZ-ZX1, which may be coming by Christmas 2014 as predicted in my
blog article
entitled “US$700
Sony Walkman NWXZ-ZX1 – Trend towards HD Audio in Asia and Japan will make it
sell in the US of A”.
Microsoft
seems to be following in the footsteps of competitors Google Drive and Dropbox, as they now have the option of
drag and drop as they do. This option is really only available with Google
Chrome Browsers and other Browsers that support this feature, hopefully
Microsoft’s own Internet Explorer. Would seem silly if their own Browser cannot
support this feature.
More
great ideas and services from Microsoft!
