The use and integration of Win8 SkyDrive

One of the big reasons Windows 8 is a new age-enabled operating system is that it connects the local to the cloud, and SkyDrive is an important part of the bridge.

SkyDrive is a Microsoft-launched cloud storage service that allows users to access files uploaded to them, using PCs, tablets or smartphones to get the latest version of files in SkyDrive. This issue of the Win8 encyclopedia we will look at the WIN8 system under the SkyDrive can bring what highlights.

Using SkyDrive applications

Find SkyDrive in the Windows 8 start interface, which will be installed by default when WIN8 is installed, click on it, and then use it.

First try to upload some files to SkyDrive. Right-click in the margins of the interface, and the bottom of the screen pops up the toolbar and finds the upload option. Click to enter the file selection interface.

Also, we can manage cloud files through SkyDrive. Right click on the file, still will be at the bottom of the Screen pop-up toolbar, select "Management", we can make the file "rename", "Move" and "delete" operation. Of course, we can also open the file directly, or download the file to the local.

Manage Cloud Files

The files that are managed by SkyDrive will be directly synchronized in the cloud, and the files in the cloud are always in the latest state. This will be the latest file to browse or download cloud files through all the other devices.

If it is only a SkyDrive application, then can not complete the task of bridging the local and cloud, the SkyDrive is strong, but also Microsoft will skydrive integrated into a number of services.

In Microsoft's "photo", "Music" and "video" applications, we can directly invoke the cloud files in SkyDrive without downloading them locally.
