Microsoft cloud storage Replacement brand free space will double

Microsoft's new CEO, Nadra, says Microsoft will become a "mobile first, Cloud first" company, which means that Microsoft's various cloud services will be upgraded and strengthened. The latest news is that Microsoft's cloud storage service, after using the new brand OneDrive, will significantly increase free storage space while adding a number of new features.

Microsoft's cloud storage currently uses the SkyDrive brand, but because Microsoft was forced to give up the brand in a trademark dispute with BSkyB, the new name would be one Drive. At present, Microsoft Official has announced, OneDrive will debut.

It now appears that Microsoft cloud storage is more than just a brand replacement. According to Liveside, a technology news website, Microsoft plans to increase the amount of free storage space significantly, and will also introduce more features to accommodate rivals such as Box, Dropbox and Google (Weibo) drive.

At present, Microsoft provides 7GB free space. Relevant screenshots show that Microsoft will add 8GB of free space, a total of 15GB.

However, the extra 8GB space will not be "white". Microsoft will launch a Friend recommendation incentive program, if every friend to recommend the use of Microsoft cloud storage, will get 500MB space, the recommended limit is 10 people.

In addition, Microsoft will encourage users to use iOS and Android OneDrive clients to upload or back up photos and videos taken by mobile phones. These users will get 3GB free space again.

It is said that the space for these rewards will be valid for life, which means that as long as friends recommend or upload mobile photos, you will get 15GB permanent free space.

In addition, Microsoft will follow the Dropbox, the introduction of the cloud storage of the shared folder function, multiple users can share, edit a folder. In addition, the owner of the folder can add more common owners later.

But these spaces are not valid for life.
