SkyDrive Comes To Android
File Sharing App For Microsoft's Cloud
By Gary Krakow
Microsoft calls their “cloud” file storage system SkyDrive. And today, it comes to Android devices in the form of a new app.
Even though Microsoft would like it a whole lot better if you were using a Windows Phone device – or a phone, tablet or computer running the upcoming Windows 8 OS they realize that it;s a good idea to offer a way for all those Android fans to take part in the fun.
As a matter of fact, the new SkyDrive Android app is a lot like their Windows Phone version. And, the iOS version for that other company's stuff.
The Android app's features will allow you to:
- Access your SkyDrive—documents, photos, and other files, plus the files other people have shared with you.
- View recently used documents.
- Choose multiple photos or videos to upload from your phone.
- Share your files and photos—send a link in email or in another app.
- Open your SkyDrive files from other Android apps.
- Easily manage your files—delete or create new folders.
The SkyDrive for Android is free and available for downloading now from Google's Play Store.
