OneDrive is one of the cheapest Cloud storage providers on the market, with 100GB of storage costing just £2, around £4 less than what Dropbox would charge you for the same amount.īy far the best deal is the £5.99 per month 1TB plan, which also gets you a subscription to Microsoft's excellent web-based Office365 suite. This is more generous than the 2GB free storage you get with Dropbox, although Dropbox has numerous device tie-ins and offers which make it fairly easy to accumulate upwards of 50GB of free storage. You can get a maximum 25GB of permanent storage by inviting ten friends to join OneDrive you get 0.5GB for every successful referral. Simply having a Microsoft account nets you 15GB of free storage, but this can be increased to 18GB by installing OneDrive on a handheld device and enabling the automatic camera roll upload feature. However, as shown by OneDrive's powerful set of tools, generous free storage and excellent mobile apps, Microsoft doesn't appear to be resting on its laurels. OneDrive is integrated into Windows 8.1 as standard, and is a free addition to any Microsoft accounts old and new (including Hotmail, MSN, Live, Xbox Live and Outlook), so Microsoft already has a significant potential user base with OneDrive. Unlike a pure backup service, which will copy all your files to the Cloud, OneDrive synchronises a single folder on your PC, giving you to access to important files from wherever you are on an unlimited number of devices. This service comes with a lot more than just synchronisation tools, and also integrates nicely into Outlook email and Office Online document editing, so is a powerful service for those wanting to store and work on their data in the Cloud. OneDrive, the Cloud service formerly known as SkyDrive, is Microsoft's foray into the Cloud storage and synchronisation market.
