If you’re looking for an easy and fast way to
share files across multiple devices such as PCs, tablets and mobile
phones, then you might want to consider Microsoft OneDrive.
Once
installed on your PC, this application enables you to upload files of
all formats and sizes to the cloud system. They remain there and become
accessible from any device that allows you to connect to your SkyDrive
account.
The application creates a “SkyDrive” folder on the
computer which you can access just like any other folder. To add files
you can use simple drag and drop actions or the classic copy paste
approach.
Any files that are dropped into the SkyDrive folder
are automatically uploaded to your cloud storage account and
synchronized across all your devices that have Microsoft OneDrive
installed. The application even displays a small “check” on the files
that are successfully transferred.
Depending on the file size and
your Internet connection, the duration of an upload can vary, as you
would expect. Once the content is in the cloud, you can access it from
virtually anywhere and share it with anyone via email or direct link.
Of
course, the devices you wish to access your files from need to have
SkyDrive installed but since the installation itself takes a matter of
seconds, you could definitely consider Microsoft OneDrive as an on the
fly solution. Instead of carrying a USB or external storage drive with
you, why not use something that is virtually impossible to lose or
damage.
Microsoft OneDrive runs hidden in the system tray and
with a simple right-click you can open your SkyDrive folder, manage your
online storage and access its settings.
The concept of Microsoft
OneDrive is simplicity and efficiency. You can notice this by accessing
the settings section of the app. Apart from the options to choose the
folders you want to sync, run the application at Windows startup and let
Microsoft OneDrive fetch any files from the currently used PC, there
aren’t many other.
In closing, Microsoft OneDrive is a reliable
and easy to use application that can definitely help you work more
efficient and safe.
