Hello, dear blog readers about. I came to consider another one data sync serviceworthy of a competitor of other challenged services.

He appeared for a long time and managed to survive several major updates. Last update can be considered the most successful.

How SkyDrive works

In terms of synchronization of files, the principle of discount onedrive (SkyDrive) is the same as from any other file synchronization service. Client ONEDRIVE (SkyDrive) for Windows is made on the likeness of frequently mentioned Dropbox. The system creates the SkyDrive folder, and all the files that are placed in it are immediately available on all other devices where the SkyDrive account is used, as well as through the browser.

Volume SkyDrive. - 7 GB of free disk space. Another option was available for long-registered users - 25 GB. When the service was updated, its size was reduced to seven GB. For those who wanted to restore their 25 GB, it was necessary to pass the activation and then everything was returned to how it was.

You can access your ONEDRIVE cloud storage (SkyDrive) in several ways:

- through the classic application for PC;
- through a web browser;
- via mobile application for smartphones on iOS, Android, Windows Phone and tablets;
- via Metro application for Windows 8.

How to start using SkyDrive

Step 2: Login to SkyDrive. You need to go through this address and enter login and password there, which you were registered on the link above.

Step 3: Download SkyDrive program By, if you have Windows. There you can choose applications for other platforms. This is necessary to use synchronization capabilities. Without a computer ONEDRIVE (Skydrive) will remain a simple cloud disk.

Installing ONEDRIVE (SkyDrive) for PC

If we consider the classic application for Windows, it is essentially the same as the previous services discussed last time ().

The installation process should not cause any difficulties with you, with the exception of some features. During the installation of the application, you need to enter a login \\ password if you do not have them, then you need to register software.

Then the SkyDrive folder is created, the placement of which must be initially set where you want, because in the settings this parameter can then be changed. Although, you can, if in the settings first delete communication with the computer, and then log in to log. True, then the re-indexing of all files from the SkyDrive folder will begin, which takes a lot of time if you have many files.

There is another feature of the application to pay attention to - during the installation process you can put a tick, as in the figure below, and then all files on your computer will be available from other connected computers, provided that another computer is turned on. In this case, you can even dig remotely files in SkyDrive.

Share: How to send a file or folder to other people?

If you do not like to be tied to one folder, I advise you to look at, it is very flexible in this regard.

For any files in the folder, you can open public access, after which the browser will open and the form will appear to enter the email addresses you need. The same can be done directly in the browser.

It should be noted that in ONEDRIVE (SkyDrive) there is a big drawback related to the stamps, which is impossible in one place to view which files and with whom you shared. Dropbox users are familiar as Links.IN SkyDrive.see who and how the sharing is provided in the information panel:

So we reviewed the opportunity classic app For PC, you can now go to the most interesting - web version.

Overview of the web version ONEDRIVE (SkyDrive)

I will say right away that the functionality of the web version has been strongly reworked, compared with the last version. It has become much more convenient and more functional. Let's start with the appearance main page. It is made in a signature tile design that Microsoft applied for the first time in Windows Phone 7. Use the online version has become much more convenient than before.

Loading files in the repository takes place using the button Send. In this case, you can select multiple files to download, and not just one. The maximum size of the loaded file is 2 GB.

File operations

All files are displayed as wide rectangles. A simple folder with files is displayed in the form of a blue rectangle, but if there are pictures, they are dynamically shown instead. Very nice and unusual. You can also display everything as a list.

Files and folders are grouped by type: First folders, then documents with music, then pictures. Change these settings can not be changed. Also available to familiar sorting by name, size, type and arbitrary sorting. The usual copying, moving and renaming files are supported. In this case, you can drag them with the mouse as on the computer. A log of file versions is available, which is already becoming the norm for decent file synchronization services.

There is a pretty interesting feature of the implementation of files to any site. By right-clicking on any file or folder, you need to select "Implementation". In the pop-up window will appear brief instructions And the "Create" button, after clicking on it, the HTML code is generated, which you can insert on your website or blog. It's bad that for pictures and folders it is impossible to set an arbitrary size except word documents, whereas for spreadsheets are available for a lot of implementation settings.

Web version features

As you can see, pictures are open to the preview in the browser. On the panel, which appears on the right, you can see the properties of the file and mark people in the picture. And in the top menu, you can turn on the slide display, see the original, implement a picture and spend other operations with the file.

Separate attention deserves work with office documents. MS Office documents can not only be viewed, but also edit, as in a full-fledged editor. This is done using the Web App service. That is, it online version All beloved package microsoft programs Office with limited functionality. However, in most cases it will be enough for simple creation and editing documents.

All other files that are not supported by the web version are loaded to the computer by clicking on them with the mouse.

In the left column of the web interface, you can see what files you worked for recently, which computers are connected to SkyDrive, which files are open to you for shared access. You can also change the storage parameters and go to the basket. Files in the basket are stored long enough to restore them. This can be done by reference in the context menu. But the volume of the basket is limited to 10% of the volume of the repository, 700MB or 2,5GB. And if there is an excess of this volume, then all files from the basket will be deleted in three days.

By default, from the moment of purchase, a whole set of programs can be installed on your computer, the purpose of which may be unclear or may not be needed.

Such programs, besides, appear from the installation packages of various games, etc., because it is often necessary to figure out where it appeared and for what is needed on a PC one or another software.

In this material we will answer questions about Onedrive: what is this application, for which this program is needed, etc.

Features

The developer of the OneDrive program is Microsoft. This program It began to appear on our PCs together with the advent of Windows 8 - she was present in the G8, version 8.1 and "dozen".

Sure, similar programs were on the PC and in older operating systemsbut modern name and modern appearance This software received only starting with the "eight".

How clear from the written above is standard program Microsoft, which is pre-installed, that is, appears on the computer immediately after installing the operating system, in the standard basic software package.

However, it is important to understand that strictly speaking, One Drive is not a program, but a service or service that is associated with virtual or "cloud" data warehouses on the network. It is with such storage and interacts software.

In essence, this software is just as a "cloud" data warehouse. Pit is one that the data itself is stored on the network, and not on your PC, but the service allows you to quickly and easily "contact" with the "cloud" from your computer and manage files in it.

Important! Such a service is present not only on computers, but also on tablets and smartphones on the basis of this operating system, and it is for them that it is most necessary. Similar services under other names are also implemented in Apple and Android systems.

The ONE DRIVE "cloud" itself was launched in February 2014, but in fact, it was only the renaming of the old similar Sky Drive program, which appeared in 2007.

But the old program belonged to the online services spectrum provided by Microsoft by Windows WINDOVS.

Although at the initial stage of differences between these programs practically did not exist, one drive soon received some improvements.

Scope of application

In which area is applied this serviceAnd how can it be useful?

To answer this question, it is necessary to understand the basic principles of work and the features of the technology of "cloud" data storage.

With this technology, there is no need to take the memory of your computer with a large number of files and information.

Speaking simply, in the virtual space there is some storage to which the user can send its data - files, folders, etc., without saving them on their computer.

Technically, these files are stored on powerful servers, but the user can access them almost instantly, just using the described program.

It allows you to view, organize and move files in the "cloud", download them from there, etc.

To access the file storage, you need a password that you created at the first registration in the "cloud" or when the files are first unloading. After you entered your password in the One Drive program, this service is associated with the repository, requests access to it from your account, and finally presents it to you. All this is happening very quickly, although there are cases when "cloud" storages were not available due to troubleshooting on servers.

Note! Analogue of this software from Google is Google disc, also on the network is implemented, for example, Yandex disk. In this case, the information from the "cloud" is actually stored on Guga and Yandex servers, respectively. In the case of one DRIVE, it is stored on Microsoft servers, regardless of what ways (from the phone or PC) came there.

Thus, who can use this software?

It is indispensable for people working with large amounts of information - photographers, montagers, designers, designers, etc.

They can upload information to the "cloud", freeing the memory of the computer.

But the ordinary user can be needed.

In the "cloud" you can store many photos for several years, bought films, especially important informationwhich cannot be lost in the case of a hardware failure on the computer.

Advantages and disadvantages

Positive:

  • Freeing of the memory of the computer to speed up its operation and increase productivity;
  • The ability to not store information that is confidential on PC;
  • Reliable storage of information, the probability that it will lose, for example, as a result of a failure in the operating system or breakdown a phone or computer;
  • The ability to streamline materials, stored in the "cloud" only a certain type of them for quick access;
  • You can also provide other users access to specific materials or folder on the link - this allows you to not forward the files, and view them in conjunction online;

  • The ability to access your files from any device based on this operating system, and you can view them from any device at all.
  • To simplify and systematize file storage, it is possible to create several accounts from one or from different devices.

Negative:

  • Lack of access to the service due to technical problems on servers;
  • Common open access to materials due to incorrect access settings installed by the user;
  • Hacking the password and getting confidential information from the cloud in other people's hands;
  • Lack of file access in the case when there is no connection to the Internet;
  • There is no search function on the disk that the program is very complicated when a lot of documents are loaded into it.
  • In addition, the size of the memory "Clouds" is limited depending on the type of account. That is, with time the place on it can end, the additional will be provided for a fee.

<Рис. 3 Принцип>

Initially, the service gave access to 7 GB of memory, then this volume was reduced to 1 GB. But then it began to issue 15 GB on remote serverAnd users who have a Microsoft account - 25 GB. Currently, dozens users seem access to 50 GB of virtual disk space.

Functional

According to functional this service Looks like all similar.

It allows you to perform the following actions:

  • Download data and files of any format to the server;
  • Work with documents online /, including collective work;
  • Very simple and fast procedure for downloading files to the server - distinctive trait It is this service that is enough just to drag the files to the corresponding window in the explorer;
  • The ability to exchange documents between users, the combined network, then making documents from the disk to the disk;
  • View text documents and tracking their editing;
  • Creating office documents online and providing other users with access to them;
  • Synchronization with the HOTMAIL system, which is the Microsoft Mailing System;
  • Sync S. search engine Bing (for example, you can even save the history of your search in this search engine).

An interesting distinguishing feature of this program is that access to the disk can be obtained not only from a computer, but also with Windows Phone, devices based on operating android systems and Apple, and even with the Xbox game console.

The only thing to be done to have access to the service from these devices is to download a special customer. After that, to enter the "cloud" you will need only enter your password and login that will work on all devices. It is clear that the Internet also needs the Internet.

Settings

The program can be Russified or not Russified depending on the version of the operating system.

But even if the service menu is not translated into Russian, it is easy to understand the management of them quite easily, since there are few functions in it and it is sufficiently simple.

The main window of the application is divided into two fields. In the left part of it on a blue background, the main sections are listed.

When you click on the section, in the right part of the window, on a white background custom parameters appear:

  • File Storage - when you click on this section, you can directly see your downloaded files, as well as download new, by dragging them into this part of the program window;

  • Metered Connection. - Settings for interaction and access to the "cloud".

In most cases, the ordinary user is enough to partition File Storage for a comfortable use of the program. And the settings set by the default are quite suitable.

<Рис. 7 Меню>

Disconnection and deletion

In fact, the service has many advantages and a wide range of users.

But not all users like it, for example, a significant drawback is that the process is always hanging in autoload.

And therefore has an unnecessary load on cPU, memory and generally hardware computer.

Turn off the service is almost impossible. Even in the off state, it constantly synchronizes folders and files.
