OneDrive Login

Login to OneDrive, which is Microsoft’s new cloud storage service that allows users to upload, sync, and access files from a web browser or through any mobile device. The service was previously known as SkyDrive, however, Microsoft had to change its name after a grueling legal battle, but the end result was positive, because I think that its new name “OneDrive” not only sounds better, but it makes more sense due to the fact that Microsoft already has other products under the “One” moniker such as its popular OneNote service. There are many file hosting services out there that allow you to upload and sync files to the cloud, this is definitely one of the best along with other strong competitors such as Box, Dropbox, and Google Drive, the latter being probably the best due to its amazing features and incredibly low prices.

Even though OneDrive isn’t as cheap as Google Drive, it’s still a great option, especially for those of you who like to use Microsoft products and services, because you can store any kind of file like photos, videos, documents, and programs, and you can access them from any Windows computer and mobile devices, it also works hand to hand with Microsoft Office apps such as Word and PowerPoint, and Office 365 users can open saved documents and collaborate on them in real time with other people. The service also works as a file organizer, because that’s what it does, it organizes files by type making it very easy for you to find them when you need them the most. A basic OneDrive account offers 7GB of file storage, 2GB file size restriction, and it supports multiple platforms such as Android, iOS, Mac, and Windows.[1]

Don’t forget that if you already have a Microsoft Account you won’t have to create a new one, you can simply go to OneDrive’s sign in page, access the site using your Microsoft account information, and then you just have to enable the service.
