Microsoft has released a bunch of new features to SkyDrive.com, including support for more file types, new editing features, more ways to share with anyone and additional controls over what you’ve shared.
Users with devices with high dpi displays will now be able to have a better way of hi-res images on SkyDrive.com. Simply put, on supported displays, Microsoft will show hi-res images and thumbnails, allowing users to see more of their image instead of just the thumbnail. Once updated, users will be able to view GIFs on SkyDrive.com too.
Rotate images manually now on SkyDrive.com
Photos can also be rotated on the updated SkyDrive. Microsoft has now introduced the All photos filter to specific albums.
Sharing on SkyDrive.com has been fed improvements too, confirms Microsoft in the post. Once they’ve updated, users will be able to share individual groups of files from anywhere in their SkyDrive account. They can share as many photos as they want from their camera roll. SkyDrive users can share a file in one folder, if they choose to, alongside another file from a different folder.
To allow users to keep better track of all that they’re sharing, Microsoft has introduced a new Shared view on SkyDrive.com. On the new Shared view, users can see all that they’ve shared, and the ones that have been shared with them. They will also be able to see the list of those who’ve shared something with them, with the ones who shared most recently showing up first.
The new Shared View on SkyDrive.com
SkyDrive users have also received the ability to share their SkyDrive files via email, to enable people to edit them without having to sign in. All the users have to do is check the “Recipients can edit” box.
Lastly, the popular service now comes with native support for viewing and editing different kinds of text files including JavaScript, CSS, HTML and many code files. In addition to support for syntax highlighting, find and word completion suggestions is included too. SkyDrive.com users can share files with friends, who in turn can edit them. Additionally, users can add “diff” changes to view conflicting edits.
