Tencent Science and Technology (Shanhui) Beijing time May 7 News, according to foreign media reports, Microsoft local time announced in Monday, its cloud storage services SkyDrive users more than 250 million. Microsoft also noted that since the release of Windows 8, SkyDrive has added about 50 million accounts. The connection between SkyDrive user growth and Windows 8 is no coincidence. Windows 8 is set up with a SkyDrive application with a modern user interface (Xiandai UI), and the Charm feature contains SkyDrive data. Microsoft believes that cloud storage is a feature that Windows users want and need. Users can store data in SkyDrive and access the data through multiple PCs or non-Windows devices. Microsoft closed Windows Live Mesh 3 months ago, requiring users to migrate to SkyDrive. However, mesh "active users less than 25,000", meaning that it has a very limited impact on the growth of SkyDrive users. Microsoft has been regularly upgrading SkyDrive to become the default Office document storage location, the mobile version of the SkyDrive application upgrades, significantly enhance the performance of the upload function. Despite being integrated into more and more services, SkyDrive is facing increasingly fierce competition from rivals such as Dropbox and Google Drive. User reach 250 million is an important milestone for SkyDrive, but the competition in the cloud storage market is far from over.
