OneDrive App Now Available Worldwide for Xbox One

OneDrive App Now Available Worldwide for Xbox One

The folks on the Xbox team continue to kick the can down the road in their attempt at making their next-gen console not just a great gaming system, but an all-inclusive media hub for our digital lives.

It was recently reported on the Xbox Wire that the OneDrive app is currently available around the world. Several new features have also been updated, which will roll out to the Xbox One, Windows Phone and more.

Achievements have been integrated into the app, along the lines of these following examples:

  • Week one winner – Open OneDrive on Xbox One in the first week
  • Week one wizard – Play 20 photos in a slideshow from your camera roll in the first week
  • Hope those aren’t all selfies … – View 10 photos from your camera roll
  • Long exposure – View 100,000 photos
  • On a roll – Watch five hours of slideshows
  • Now you’re thinking with folders – Add a shared folder to OneGuide

One of the features of the app is that it lets you share your recorded game footage to social media and the Xbox community. This is done through cloud storage, and the app provides up to seven gigabytes free (with the opportunity to earn more for things like inviting your friends).

Also, to mark the launch, Xbox is running a special promotion. According to the company, “…the OneDrive team will be giving 100,000 lucky people 100 GB of complimentary storage for one year. That’s enough to store 3,400 1-minute game clips or roughly 44,000 photos!” Interested gamers are instructed to follow @OneDrive on Twitter.
