Microsoft under its new CEO, Satya Nadella, is making a broad push to
secure a competitive share of the cloud market. The company has been
doing so for quite some time with its OneDrive app, and now the software
manufacturer has made that same app available for the Amazon Fire Phone
and Kindle Fire.
This isn't the first time Microsoft is bringing an app to Amazon's
smartphone and tablet platform. The company first did so with its
OneNote app, and this next step is another move that should prove that
Microsoft is a company that is now embracing change and realizing that
the world no longer revolves around the Windows platform.
With the OneDrive app for the Kindle Fire and Fire Phone, users can
manage and share their files and documents wherever they are, as long as
they have a working Internet connection. In addition, Amazon mobile
platform users can share files via a link.
"OneDrive (formerly SkyDrive) is the one place for everything in your
life. Easily store and share photos, videos, documents, and more. When
you upload files from your Android device to OneDrive, you can get to
them when you're on your PC, Mac, tablet, or phone. With OneDrive for
Android, you can easily get to, manage, and share files on the go,"
according to the app's description.
As it stands right now, Microsoft's OneDrive is available on every
platform, which includes PC, Mac, Android, iOS, Windows Phone and
Amazon's mobile platforms. However, the same can't be said about Google
Drive and Amazon's own cloud services.
It's great to see Microsoft making this push to make its services
available on every platform. This can be seen as a good move, as it
would allow folks who are not on the Windows platform to take advantage
of what the company has to offer.
From our experience, it is safe to say that OneDrive is one of the
best cloud services available right now, and prices are great. With some
more improvements, Microsoft has a rare chance of having the best
cloud-related product on the market.
We're interested to see what else Microsoft is working on, and
whether or not the company will adopt the same procedure and bring it to
other platforms across the field.
