The one addition for iOS is the automatic backup of your photos and videos, which can be very useful, but I think the app should ask your permission first. It is rightfully one of the three largest cloud services available thanks to its connection with Office 365, becoming a veritable powerhouse that allows you to edit from within the cloud itself. Ability to save files directly from my desktop is just great, as well as. OneDrive Review Beginning its life as SkyDrive back in 2007, Microsoft’s OneDrive has grown considerably over the years. The launch of OneDrive is mostly just a renaming of SkyDrive, and you'll get almost all the same features you had before. OneDrive is a superb cloud storage service that has fixed my storage and back up needs. I think it would be better to ask me in the beginning if I want to back up my photo library rather than assume I do.

The app has the backup photo setting on by default, and you'll need to open the settings to stop the automatic upload, but photos already uploaded will stay on your OneDrive (until you delete them). OneDrive allows you to work on documents with others simultaneously.

The one thing I don't like about the photo backup feature is that it starts automatically. Store, sync and share your work online with 5TB of storage and 250GB maximum file size. It also means that you could clear out space on your iPhone, but that would be true for any of the big cloud storage apps. Depending on how many photos you have stored on your phone this can take some time, but when it's finished you'll be able to browse your photos easily, swiping to advance to the next picture, just as you would in the iPhone library.

Right when you start the app and sign in, OneDrive starts backing up the photos on your iPhone. OneDrive will also automatically back up the photos in your iPhone library, which is new to the app in this version.
