OneDrive from Microsoft now live on the Play Store

Microsoft had a slight run in not to long ago about the name of its cloud storage solution. A small legal issue stemming from UK TV broadcaster BSkyB led to the need to alter its name and branding. Now what was once SkyDrive, you will now find OneDrive. The new rebranded app has been released now for Windows, iOS and Android.

The changes won’t mean a heck of a lot to previous SkyDrive users. Microsoft assures the public that all your content still remains under the new name branding. The re-released OneDrive does offer up some new goodies for the Android side of things. You can automatically upload your photos and videos to OneDrive using camera backup. Sounds like Dropbox and Google Drive. The updated app also offers improved support working with Office Mobile for Android and OneNote, larger thumbnail viewing and the usual dose of bug fixes and performance improvements.

With OneDrive you get 7GB of storage for free out the gates, but Microsoft is also taking a slight Dropbox approach to earning more. Every friend you refer to OneDrive will net you 500MBs of free storage, upto 5GBs.

You can also earn another 3GB of free space for just trying out the camera backup feature.
On the downside though, it seems like many users of the Android app are pushing 1 and 2 star ratings because they can’t login to OneDrive after the branding change and slow upload speeds of photos. If you are a former SkyDrive users and wish to check out the new OneDrive.
