Windows 8: Life with three screens and one cloud is so simple

Last week, Microsoft officially released its next-generation operating system, Windows 8, which is the most concerned operating system, because it carries many of Microsoft's hopes. In Windows 8, Microsoft completely updated the traditional interface, integrated a new touch experience, and entered the mobile Internet … … one of the compelling features is the integration of Skydrive cloud storage, due to the touch characteristics of Windows 8, Skydrive cloud storage has become a key tool for Microsoft to help users create a three-screen cloud life. So what is the convenience of Windows 8 for our mobile life?

Three screens and one cloud

As we all know, this year's cloud storage market is extremely hot. There are IT new overlord Apple iCloud, veteran giant Google Drive, etc., there are Jinshan Express, QQ network disk and cool. Disks, etc., so many manufacturers have seen the potential of the cloud storage market, so Microsoft's integration of Skydrive in Windows 8 is taken for granted. Based on the huge Windows user base and the opening of the cloud and Windows Explorer, I feel that once the user realizes the function of the cloud storage and starts using the service, he knows how the three-screen cloud life brought by the Windows 8 system is. Convenient.

At present, Microsoft officially launched Windows version, Mac version, Windows Phone version, iPhone and iPad version and Android version of Skydrive, which basically covers the mainstream mobile operating system and PC operating system, which means basically Users can download the appropriate version to meet their cloud storage needs.

On Windows 8, Skydrive will be a Metro style program to give Windows 8 users a unique experience, users can access all of you in a touch-friendly interface on the SkyDrive friendly interface. SkyDrive file. At the same time, SkyDrive will also use the Windows 8 Charms toolbar and allow third-party Metro program data to be stored on SkyDrive. It also supports the use of third-party applications for document and photo sharing.

Don't worry, users can use the desktop version of Skydrive to better use this service on traditional desktops, because Microsoft has connected the cloud to the desktop version of Windows Explorer. The desktop version of SkyDrive will allow Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows 8 users to drag and drop, upload and download data to the familiar Windows Explorer interface on the right side of SkyDrive, and when you add, change or delete files in one location The corresponding files in all other locations will be updated, which is the value of "Cloud".
