“We streamlined the photo upload path resulting in a faster bulk photo upload experience,” said Microsoft’s Chris Jones on. All-round performance improvements mean that heavy-duty tasks, like bulk photo or file uploading, now take place quicker than before too. SkyDrive now uses a tile-based system the same as that which will appear in the new Modern Interface. Visually SkyDrive is looking more like a Windows 8 product, ahead of the official operating system’s release this October, says. File names, date created, date modified and size, are all catered for.

Common sorting options, as seen in many of Microsoft’s other products, now too have a place in SkyDrive – which doubles up as the company’s home for Microsoft 365 data. A revamped search option, for example, now searches for files within various Office applications, as well as on SkyDrive. Easier navigation and a more intuitive approach to searching for files have been the main focus of the exercise. Microsoft SkyDrive has had a new, more modern makeover, according to.
