What is OneDrive?<\/b><\/p>\n
OneDrive\u00a0is a\u00a0file hosting service\u00a0that allows users to upload and sync files to a\u00a0cloud storage\u00a0and then access them from a Web browser or their local device.<\/p>\n
What does OneDrive\u00a0offer me?<\/strong><\/p>\n The service offers 7\u00a0GB\u00a0of free <\/strong>storage and additional storage is available for purchase.\u00a0Files of up to 300\u00a0MB can be uploaded via drag and drop into the web browser,\u00a0or up to 2\u00a0GB via the OneDrive\u00a0desktop application for\u00a0Microsoft Windows\u00a0and\u00a0OS X.<\/p>\n With the OneDrive\u00a0desktop application for Windows or Mac, your files on OneDrive\u00a0are available online or offline and update automatically across your devices.<\/strong>\u00a0You can also access your OneDrive\u00a0using a brand new app for Android v2.3 or the updated apps for Windows Phone, iPhone, and iPad.<\/p>\n The Office apps (Word, Excel, etc.) let you save your documents\u00a0by default\u00a0into your OneDrive\u00a0directory on your local computer. With the help of OneDrive, those files are synchronized with the files in your OneDrive\u00a0cloud storage, letting you access them from anywhere, or edit them using the online Web version of Microsoft Office.<\/p>\n Online collaboration<\/strong> is made easy with the new\u00a0\u00a0Office Web apps, including Excel forms, co-authoring in PowerPoint and embedable Word documents.\u00a0Microsoft added\u00a0Office Web Apps\u00a0support to OneDrive\u00a0allowing users to upload, create, edit, and share\u00a0Microsoft Office\u00a0documents directly within a Web browser.<\/p>\n You can share documents<\/strong> with other people, which provides them with a link to access the documents from their own OneDrive\u00a0account. From there, the other people can make changes to the documents at the same time that you’re changing them. As you’re working, you’ll see the areas you’re changing. Then when you save, your document will receive the updates from the other person before saving. If there are any conflicts, you’ll be notified of them and given a chance to fix them.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When users delete any files on OneDrive, the service will allow the user to undo the action and restore the deleted file from the\u00a0recycle bin\u00a0<\/strong>back to the original folder. \u00a0All items stored in the recycle bin are kept for a minimum of 3 days and a maximum of 30 days.<\/p>\n OneDrive\u00a0integrates with\u00a0social networks<\/strong>\u00a0such as\u00a0Facebook,\u00a0Twitter\u00a0and\u00a0LinkedIn\u00a0to enable users to quickly share their files with their contacts on these social networks.<\/sup>\u00a0It also\u00a0supports geo-location data for photos uploaded onto the service, and will automatically display a map of the tagged location. OneDrive\u00a0also allows users to tag people on the photos uploaded onto the service via the web interface or via\u00a0Windows Photo Gallery.<\/p>\n Additionally you can sort files, change file views, view photo slide shows, and stream video. \u00a0All this functionality in one place, safe up in the clouds.<\/p>\n [SOURCE: Wikipedia]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/p>\n Wat is SkyDrive?<\/b><\/p>\n SkyDrive is a le\u00ear huisvestingsdiens wat aan gebruikers die geleentheid gee om\u00a0le\u00ears op te laai en sinkroniseer na `n wolkbergingsfasiliteit en daarna toegang daartoe te verkry deur middel van `n webblaaier of jou plaaslike toestel.<\/p>\n Wat bied SkyDrive my?<\/strong><\/p>\n Die diens bied 7\u00a0GB\u00a0gratis <\/strong>stoorspasie en ekstra spasie is te koop beskikbaar. Le\u00ears van tot\u00a0300\u00a0MB kan opgelaai word deur die webblaaier met `n sleep-en-los-proses of tot \u00a02\u00a0GB deur middel van die SkyDrive gebruikskoppelvak-toepassing (desktop app<\/em>) vir Microsoft Windows\u00a0en OS X.<\/p>\n <\/strong>Met die SkyDrive gebruikskoppelvlak-toepassing vir Windows of Mac, is jou le\u00ears aanlyn of van lyn af beskikbaar en word dit outomaties oor alle toestelle opgedateer<\/strong>. Jy kan ook toegang tot SkyDrive verkry deur `n splinternuwe toepassing vir Androi\u00a0v2.3 of die opgedateerde toepassing vir Windows Phone, iPhone, en iPad te gebruik.<\/p>\n Die Office toepassingss (Word, Excel, etc.) laat jou toe om jou dokumente by verstek na die SkyDrive gids op jou plaaslike rekenaar te stoor. Met die hulp van SkyDrive word daardie\u00a0le\u00ears gesinkroniseer met jou dokumente in jou SkyDrive wolkstoorspasie – en gevolglik het jy toegang van enige plek en kan jy jou dokumente aanlyn redigeer met die webweergawe van\u00a0Microsoft Office.<\/p>\n Aanlyn samewerking word aansienlik vergemaklik met nuwe\u00a0<\/strong>Office Web toepassings, insluitende Excel vorms, mede-outeurskap in PowerPoint en ingebedde Word-dokumente.\u00a0As jy dokumente deel met ander mense wil deel, word `n skakel outomaties aan hulle gegee waarmee hulle deur hul eie SkyDrive-rekening toegang tot die dokumente kan kry. Hulle kan veranderinge aanbring aan die dokumente terwyl jy ook daaraan werk en jy kan die veranderinge \u00a0sien soos dit verander word. Wanneer jy dus die dokument wil stoor, sal jy die opdaterings van die ander persoon ontvang. Indien daar enige konflikte is, sal jy daarvan in kennis gestel word en die geleentheid kry om dit aan te pas. Jy kan ook die geskiedenis van al die vorige weergawes nagaan.<\/p>\n Indien jy enige dokumente uitvee van SkyDrive, laat die diens jou toe om die aksie te herroep en die verwyderde dokument te herstel na sy oorspronklike le\u00ear uit die Recycle bin<\/em><\/strong>. Alle items in die\u00a0Recycle bin <\/em>word vir `n minimum van 3 dae gestoor en `n maksimum van 30 dae.<\/p>\n SkyDrive is ten volle geintegreer met sosiale netwerke soos Facebook,\u00a0Twitter\u00a0en LinkedIn om aan gebruikers die geleentheid te gee om vinnig le\u00ears met hulle kontakte te deel op hierdie netwerke. Dit ondersteun ook geo-ligging data vir fotos wat opgelaai word en sal outomaties `n kaart wys indien `n ligging gemerk word. SkyDrive laat ook gebruikers toe om persone te merk op fotos deur middel van die webkoppelvlak of deur die Windows fotogallery.\u00a0<\/p>\n Addisioneel tot bogemoemde funksies kan jy ook le\u00ears sorteer, le\u00ear uitlegte verander, foto skyfievertonings kyk en video stroom. Al hierdie funksionaliteit op een plek, veilig in die wolke.<\/p>\n [SOURCE: Wikipedia]<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Last year we told you more about cloud storage, what it is and the multitude of options available to you.
