Microsoft OneDrive can now support files up to 10GB

Users of Microsoft's cloud-based storage platform OneDrive can now store much bigger files online - about 10 gigabytes from the previous 2 GB.

OneDrive group program manager Jason Moore said this is after Microsoft recently increased OneDrive's free storage plan to 15 GB and the storage for Office 365 customers to 1 TB.

"(W)e’re excited to announce that you can now upload files up to 10 GB using the desktop apps for Windows and Mac, all of the mobile apps, and the OneDrive website! We recognized that people not only have more files than they did before, but they have bigger files as well. This is a top feature request we’ve received and we’re excited to deliver it!" he said.
 
He also said they are working on enabling this for business customers.
 
Moore also said OneDrive now has faster syncing.

Citing internal tests, he said the parallel syncing was about three times faster than the previous system.

"Our performance enhancements have begun rolling out and will be available worldwide in the coming weeks," he said.

Also, Moore said the improvement will mean easier sharing straight from Windows Explorer in Windows 7 and 8.

"By simply right-clicking the item or items you’d like to share, you’ll see a 'Share a OneDrive link' option that will create a sharing link and add it to your Clipboard. From there, you can paste it directly into an email, IM, or other message," he said.

Another feature is the ability to drag folders directly into OneDrive.com from browsers where folder dragging/dropping is supported, including in Google Chrome. — Joel Locsin /LBG, GMA News
