Microsoft launches OneDrive along with new Android app

February 19, 2014

A few weeks ago Microsoft announced that SkyDrive would now be known as OneDrive. Today that became a reality, and OneDrive is now official. For people who were already using SkyDrive that won’t really be a big change. Their service will automatically be upgraded, and existing apps will continue to work.

There are a few changes to the service, however. Users of OneDrive will be able to earn additional storage, similar to how Dropbox works. Users can get a referral bonus of up to 5GB, which consists of 500MB for each friend you refer to OneDrive. You can also get an additional 3GB of storage by using the camera backup feature in the mobile version of the apps. If normal storage plus that extra storage still isn’t enough, users can sign up to a monthly payment plan for even more.

The Android app for OneDrive is also being updated. It will now include automatic camera uploads. The new app also has a new user interface.
