Hello dear readers of the blog site. I have already written several times about file storage (cloud file hosting) and about their undoubted usefulness and relevance. Now I can no longer imagine my work without, where I necessarily keep all current documents, as well as site backups.

There is nothing complicated there. If you already had a mailbox in Hotmail or their new Outlook, then just enter it and go to managing the VanDrive file storage at onedrive.live.com/... For some reason, I did not find the login using the link from the account window.

The interface does not shine with graphical delights, but at the same time, everything is clear and understandable without additional explanations. In the upper left corner to the right of the SkyDrive label there is an arrow to go to the mail interface.

In the lower left corner, you will be shown the size of your file hosting, which by default is 7 GB, and you will also have the opportunity to view the contents of the recycle bin, where all files deleted from the storage go (its size is 10% of the total size).

There are no free ways to increase it, as it was in Dropbox or Yandex disk, and you can only go to "Storage Management" to pay for one of the options for expanding the volume. It's sad, because in Dropbox I was able to expand my 2 GB to almost 60 GB for free, which is already quite suitable for full-fledged work with file hosting, when you don't need to think too much about the size of the objects being synced.

At the top of the OneDrive web interface, there are controls for managing files stored there, and to the right are switches for how they are displayed.

Van Drive Program

But we will return to this later, but for now we will use the "Download" button located below. If it is not there, then go to the "Get the application" tab, well, or just click on Download VanDrive, or by button:

Personally, I still use Windows Vista and on it, when you start this application, a message appears "OneDrive (skydrive) cannot start with full administrator rights ". For a couple of years of existence, this problem has not been eliminated by the developers, which indicates their sluggishness, or that outdated systems are deliberately treated.

The rescue of drowning people is the work of the drowning people themselves. Therefore, we solve the problem with a simple enabling UAC service(User Account Control), which I successfully disabled immediately after installing Windows. So, in order to turn UAC back on, I had to go along the thorny path "Start" - "Control Panel" (I have a classic view) - "User Accounts" - "Enabling and disabling UAC":

Check the box and click on OK.

You will be asked to restart your computer, after which, finally, the VanDrive application will start for you. On other operating systems that support this program, there are no problems with its launch - only on Vista, and only with disabled UAC.

You will be immediately prompted log into your Microsoft account(enter login and password from your mailbox in Hotmail or Outlook). Personally, I have kept everything for the last time, and the Kipas base itself lives in Dropbox, so as not to lose everything at once.

Next, you will be offered to change the default location of the OneDrive folder, which I always do, because I would not want the "C drive" to grow in volumes to disgrace (then the image in Akronis will turn out to be monstrous). For all file storages, I use "disk D".

On all such file hosting, there is a setting for folders, the contents of which should sync automatically with this particular computer. For example, in Dropbox, we use one single account with the whole family, but synchronize on different computers different folders, because I don’t need my wife’s files, but she doesn’t need mine.

This setting is necessary, but it makes sense to do it, as it seems to me, a little later, when you have already decided on the structure and purpose of the folders.

Although the SkyDrive installation wizard invites you to do this right now.

Access your computer's file system remotely from another device using the OneDrive web interface

Well, here we got to one of the previously announced features of file storage from Microsoft - the ability to receive through this service access to files on remote computer ... Moreover, these same files do not have to be in the above-mentioned folder, which is subject to synchronization.

Pretty cool feature that can come in handy sometimes.

Now when entering the page onedrive.live.com/ at the bottom of the left column you will see the "Computers" item and below it a list of those devices on which you have installed the VanDrive (SkyDrive) program and have not unchecked the option of remote access to it.

Great, isn't it? I have never seen anything like this among the competitors of this file hosting.

The appearance of the folder and file tree can be changed in the upper right corner, and the folders or files you need can either be added to OneDrive (in fact, moved to shared folder), or download it to the device from where you are performing this remote access.

In my opinion, a great opportunity, but back to our rams, namely the desktop application.

OneDrive (formerly SkyDrive) setup and capabilities

It remains only to click on the "Finish" button and in the tray you will see the cloud icon, which you will live there forever.

For those who have never dealt with cloud file hosting, I will explain that the VanDrive folder and all its contents will now live a double life (or even triple, or quadruple, depending on how many computers and laptops you will be logged into. her under the same account).

Its full copy will always be stored in the Microsoft cloud, and in case of data loss on your computer, it will be automatically copied from the virtual storage as soon as you sign in to your OneDrive account again. This is a very convenient thing, but, as far as I understand, increased storage and encryption security measures will be available to you only when you purchase the paid version.

The settings of this program are hidden in context menu of this tray icon under item "Parameters".

On the first tab, the autostart of this application is configured; it will also be possible to deny remote access to the computer, if necessary. Here you can also break the link (sign out of your account) with your Microsoft account, for example, in order to enter this file storage under another.

On the second tab, you can just exclude automatic synchronization with those folders, the contents of which are on this computer you don't need to update.

Create your own directory structure and subfolders inside the VanDrive directory you can use the standard Wimdows tools by opening it in Explorer or, for example, in.

New files or folders can be added by simply dragging and dropping from other places or copying them through the clipboard (I advise you to try the program to expand its capabilities). The web interface also allows you to do this using the menu of items "Create" from the top panel:

Well, on the third tab, you can disable the default option to speed up data synchronization between your SkyDrive folder and the cloud file storage by compressing all transferred files into the archive. Firstly, this reduces their size, and secondly, uploading one object to the Internet is much faster than a thousand, even if their weight is comparable. It makes sense to leave this checkbox.

If right click You cannot use the mouse (on a tablet, for example), then you can open the tab shown in the screenshot using the icon located on the upper right and select a similar item there:

See the screenshot for the difference between these three ways to share a link:

It is the second option that demonstrates the difference between SkyDrive file hosting (in a new way - VanDrive) from Dropbox and others like it. Office documents can be edited online with the tool Office Web Apps.

Online version of OneDrive, Office Web Apps and more

Moreover, a user who follows such a link will be able to edit the document without even logging into his Microsoft account.

Naturally, you yourself can use Office Web Apps for online editing of all office documents stored in the Sky Drive folder... To do this, you will need to click on it and select the appropriate item from the top menu.

In general, Office Web Apps is a simplified version office suite and this is how, for example, its window will look when editing a Word document previously loaded into this file storage.

All the most commonly used tools are available. The edited document can be saved there, or you can upload it to your computer or any other device. Again, no other popular file storage has this built-in capability.

When viewing photos in the web interface Van Drive, you will have the opportunity to start a slideshow, flip the image, see other pictures from the same folder in the form of the ribbon below, and in the right tab to see detailed information about this file.

Moreover, if you share with someone a link to a photo or a whole folder with them, then after clicking on it, this person will have access to almost all of the same tools for viewing, and he will not have to log into his account for this. fine soft. ...

Those types of files that cannot be displayed in the web interface, you will be prompted to download. There is also such an option as introduction of objects... What it is? Well, this is the ability to insert an object (photo, document, or something else) into your site through.

But in practice, it’s hard for me to imagine what this could be for. The size of the frame window can be adjusted to the width of your page by changing the numbers directly in the code. As an example, I inserted a Word document just below, which contains a small list of my articles, which I redid in order to.

You can scroll it with the mouse wheel, double-click will increase the scale, but when you click on the button in the lower right corner, you will go to its viewing in SkyDrive.

It goes without saying that there are names of the same mobile applications to access this file hosting: iPhone or iPad, Android or Windows Phone. Naturally, when you sign in, you will be asked for your Microsoft account credentials.

OneDrive for iPad's interface is very simple and almost completely customizable.

In Dropbox, I really liked the ability to automatically sync all footage to mobile device photo and video materials so that they can then be viewed on desktop computer... I did not find such an opportunity here.

In general, despite a couple of very interesting features, VanDrive has not yet impressed me so much that I switched to it from Dropbox. Although, perhaps he will find some suitable application. And what do you think?

Good luck to you! See you soon on the pages of the blog site

What is OneDrive?

OneDrive is a specialized cloud storage and synchronization service for user files across multiple devices. At its core, this regular cloud is the same as Google Drive or iCloud. However, its peculiarity is that it is already preinstalled on most devices with OS from Microsoft.

The cloud is also used by the devices themselves to store and synchronize user data. For example, Xbox One, Windows 8.1, 10, and Windows smartphones use OneDrive to sync system settings, look and feel (theme, background, etc.), and app settings.

In addition, included in these operating systems browsers Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge use cloud storage to sync browsing history and saved passwords.

You can access your OneDrive files on almost any device:

Cloud storage terms of use

5GB is available for free to all users, this is enough for storage backups and a small amount of text documents or photos. However, you must admit that in our time this is already prohibitively small.

In order to get your 5 gigabytes, you just need to sign in or register your Microsoft account.

How to increase the available volume

You can increase the size of your cloud storage for free by inviting friends via a special referral link or by using social networks(onedrive-referral-bonus). However, the maximum you can increase the space in the cloud by only 10 GB, getting 500 MB for each invited user.

To get a link, go to the parameters and select the "Storage Management" item

There are also 3 options for a paid "subscription":

Basic - 50 GB for 72 rubles. per month;
Personal - 1000 GB for 1 user for 269 rubles. per month + Office 365;
For home - 1000 GB for each of 5 users for 339 rubles. per month + Office 365.

For most, the Basic option is enough for constant synchronization of photos, documents and not too large files between devices. However, the "top" tariff will allow most users to forget about the ending disk space forever.

As a result, we can say that Microsoft OneDrive is a good solution for cloud storage and synchronization of its information between various devices... A basic "hamburger price" rate allows you to always keep the data you need at hand.

Have a great day!
