The first impression and configure

OneDrive greets us with a brief overview of the main features, followed by the authorization or registration. The latter occurs only through Microsoft account.
 

Next, you can automatically copy all of the multimedia smartphone. I advise you to do this is not immediately, because your library may be much larger than the available disk space on the server.
 

for the convenience of once created folders for documents and images. The latter are distributed automatically. Not without changing the display, sort and search. Add a file, you can use “+” at the bottom left of the screen.
 

If we talk about the interface, it is a classic – with a single window on the left sidebar. You can open the library to view the last downloaded content and open shared files. Below is activated offline (requires an appropriate place in the smartphone memory), there is a basket, and settings.
 

Samih the parameters a little. You can set up a profile, that is to open the possibility of collaborative editing, as well as to increase storage capacity.
 

And since I’m a longtime customer of the cloud, it is available to me for free 15 GB. Previously, it was all but Microsoft has traditionally clamped 10GB, leaving newcomers only 5 GB.
 

Most likely, this was done for the active promotion of Office 365. for example, the subscription to the aforesaid and terabytes of disk space for a single desktop (+ smartphone and tablet) costs 199 rubles month, for up to five devices – 249 rubles. The first month may be free, but subscription still can not avoid. However, no one bothers to subscribe to 50 GB for 72 rubles a month.
 

Interestingly, if you subscribe to the official site, the «Office 365+ terabytes” for a single user will cost 269 rubles, and for five people – to 339 rubles a month. With the tariff plan for business environment, you can see here .
 

In general, Microsoft policy is clear. Now let’s see how its application will show itself in action.
