Seems like a Microsoft love-fest, but I really like OneDrive on Android now. I use it to automatically back up my photos from my phone. I then organise and move to Google Drive to have available in the Google+ photo app. I never liked OneDrive for this before because it renamed all my photos, but not any more. And I don't use the auto-backup on Google+ any more as the photos are not as easily accessible. At least by moving into Google Drive, I still get the benefits of Auto-Awesome and Stories in Google+.

Dean Penderghast, makes sense!  Using Google+ photo backups, they would be able to access all their photos from any computer... but admit that while the Google+ photos interface is on the cutting edge, the experience still isn't quite as smooth and easy as the good old file browser.  

 

Google+ does have some great automatic photo features though, like the not so well known but incredible photo search capability. From my best guess, Google+ is actually scanning the photos to determine what is in them, and indexes types of objects it has found.  So if you search for dog, it will bring back pictures of dogs, as well as things it things are dogs (like pigs).

I'm happy getting a terabyte of OneDrive storage along with the full Office 365 suite for only $20 per year ($100/5 users). That's 1 terabyte each. And we can collaborate from virtually any device or location.

 

+James Eriksen, Microsoft Office can create and edit documents from mobile devices now—even with the free version.
