Microsoft is adding new automatic camera backup capabilities to its existing SkyDrive cloud-storage app for iPads and iPhones, company officials announced on November 21.
Additionally, the new update to the iOS version includes improved editing and viewing in Office Mobile and OneNote integration. Office Mobile users can open a document from SkyDrive directly into Office Mobile or OneNote instead of the Quicklook viewer.The SkyDrive app for iOS, which Microsoft initially rolled out two years ago, can now automatically upload photos and videos to SkyDrive, the way they can already with Windows Phone. iPhone and iPad users can control whether these uploads happen over Wi-Fi or their data networks, as well as whether photos are uploaded at their origional resolution or down-sampled to save space on SkyDrive. Users can free up space on their i-devices by deleting photos and videos from them once they've uploaded them to their single SkyDrive camera roll. iOS 7 users get larger thumbnails via today's update, too.
The update to SkyDrive for iOS is available now in the iTunes store.
Microsoft also announced today new Facebook integration capabilities on SkyDrive.com. SkyDrive users now can share one or multiple photos to an existing Facebook album or put them in a new album. If creating a new album, users can name and set permissions for the folder from directly within SkyDrive before sharing to Facebook.
