If you can’t beat them, join them. This seems to be Microsoft’s thinking in a nutshell after acknowledging Windows 10 Mobile isn’t the focus right now, with more and more interesting Redmond-developed apps reaching the iOS-using masses, and popular productivity services like Office, OneDrive and Skype brought closer and closer to Android enthusiasts.After fighting many of them in courts on patent infringement allegations several ...

Microsoft pulled a very uncool stunt on both Office 365 subscribers and users of its free OneDrive file hosting tier last fall, massively reducing previous cloud storage perks across the board, but in the face of public outrage, some of the controversial policy changes were temporarily reversed in December.This January 31, your window of opportunity closed for good, and ...

First, Microsoft abruptly took away people’s unlimited OneDrive cloud storage due to “abuse”, and inexplicably downgraded free accounts from 15 to 5GB digital hoarding space. Then, pressed by backlash, the Redmond-based software giant reconsidered the latter move, but only tripled available storage back for folks who expressly declared their desire.Everyone else was still supposed to keep the 15 gig ceiling through the ...

As if all of a sudden going back on promises of unlimited cloud storage and also downgrading free OneDrive plans wasn’t enough to alienate users who can always choose Google Drive or Dropbox, Microsoft just bungled things further by inexplicably limiting people’s accounts to 1TB digital hoarding space.Don’t get us wrong, this is ...
The post Microsoft prematurely enforces OneDrive restrictions for Office 365 users, but they will be lifted appeared first on Pocketnow.
We’re close to, but have not quite reached January 31st, 2016. And that date, while it marks the last day of the first month for the year, also signals that the end is imminent. The end is by us for some major benies from the old guard, a fresh face and the termination of a startup gone Google.We start with Microsoft’s OneDrive — and like most cloud storage clients, it offers some free space for new users before charging them for more storage. OneDrive has been offering 15GB of base storage with an extra 15GB for those who activate the Camera Roll feature for backing up ...

A little over a month ago, Microsoft made some controversial changes to OneDrive storage offerings, sending out waves of dissatisfaction amongst users of the cloud service. Unlimited storage was being killed off in favor of a 1TB tier, 100GB and 200GB options were disappearing for new users, and maybe impacting the widest swath of users, OneDrive’s free storage option was shrinking from 15GB ...
The post Microsoft backtracks on some (not all) of its controversial OneDrive changes appeared first on Pocketnow.
With this year’s iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus, Apple introduced a new mechanic for how users interact with apps, giving the phones force-sensitive “3D Touch” input. Of course, for an app to actually take advantage of that kind of input, a developer’s going to have to go back and intentionally build support for such interactions. But will they actually take the time to do so, especially with only the newest iPhones supporting it?

Microsoft’s latest OneDrive cloud storage offers always seemed too good to be true, and alas, just over a year after their introduction, they’re no longer available on the Google and Dropbox-eclipsing terms.Effective immediately, Office 365 Home, Personal, and University subscribers return to capped OneDrive plans. Apparently, Redmond didn’t appreciate that a “small number of users” backed up 75TB+ data on its servers, including non-essential stuff like “entire movie collections.”HD porn action film ...
The post No more unlimited OneDrive storage for Office 365 subscribers, free cloud space downgraded appeared first on Pocketnow.
Nearly everybody uses cloud services these days, to some varying degree. It’s almost unavoidable at this point; the moment you set up an Android phone, it prompts you to create a Gmail account in order to download apps, then proceeds to automatically back up your contacts and other information to the cloud. The same goes for Apple’s iCloud service, and Microsoft’s OneDrive as well. At any given moment, your phone could even be uploading your photos to the cloud, if you have such a feature enabled on your phone. Even if you try your best to avoid it, it’s likely that ...

Microsoft may not have the most popular cloud storage service in the market, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t offer one of the best services. The company has just decided to up the ante in its competition with Google, and that new strategy has begun today with a significant boost to OneDrive.As of next month, free OneDrive users will receive a boost from 7GB to 15GB of free storage, which matches the same offering that Google Drive users receive. And for those of you still on the ropes trying to decide about Office 365, well Microsoft is now including a crazy 1TB of OneDrive ...
