Phone features with Windows SkyDrive, the storage platform in the Microsoft cloud. But who said the company is pleased to serve only smartphone users to the system it developed? This week arrived in the App Store SkyDrive application for iPhone and iPad.
"We know that not everyone who relies on SkyDrive to share photos or access Office documents using Windows Phone ... Yet." With these words, a representative from MSFT confirmed the arrival of a native application - no web app - for the platform Apple's. It was made thinking in terms of the iPhone interface, but also functions as the iPad application.
According to Microsoft, all of the shares present in SkyDrive WPhone are on iOS. You can view documents, create folders, delete folders, delete files. In short, to maintain total organization of the 25 GB that MSFT provides free through the SkyDrive service. For those unaware, SkyDrive works very similar to Dropbox adored, just have a Live ID account (Messenger has a user from a) to use.
A feature by which I particularly interested is the easy file sharing. Say I'm on the road and need to send a document that is on my SkyDrive for some contact. Instead of downloading it, attach it and then send it to the person, I can simply open the app SkyDrive, go to the file and select the option to share. MSFT's technology takes care of creating a link to the file in the cloud, from which the message recipient will download the file.
Being more mobile platforms, is that this time spawned the SkyDrive MSFT among the most tech-savvy users (you and me)?
