Reuben Krippner, director of OneDrive for Business, explained in an Office Mechanics video this week that Microsoft has now produced OneDrive mobile apps for iOS, Windows Phone and Android that allows users to save their work and personal files to Microsoft's cloud-based storage service. Microsoft also offers OneDrive client applications for consumers as mobile apps and desktop apps. The OneDrive for Business service gets accessed by end users through a browser. Microsoft's OneDrive for Business service, which is offered through its Office 365 plans and which is separate from the OneDrive consumer service, currently does yet not have this unified business and consumer storage capability, according to a Microsoft spokesperson, via a phone call. It's now possible to search for photos, Office documents and PDFs via metadata "tags." Another new capability in the iOS app is the ability to recover files from the Recycle Bin. Microsoft is also planning to enable 30GB of storage with automatic photo backups turned on in OneDrive. In addition, the updated OneDrive app for iOS has new photo-sharing capabilities via "albums," a feature that also will be coming at an unspecified future date to the Windows Phone and Android platforms, according to a January 27 OneDrive blog post.
It's possible to use this app to upload files to OneDrive for Business, Microsoft explained in a January 28 OneDrive blog post. Although it might be considered to be a consumer app, the updated iOS app has the capability to handle storage for both work files and consumer files, according to Microsoft's announcement. This updated OneDrive app for iOS can be downloaded from the Apple iTunes store here. Microsoft released an updated OneDrive app for iOS devices this week as part of its broader efforts to deliver a unified business and personal cloud storage experience.
