Microsoft's cloud storage service, formally known as SkyDrive, has relaunched today as OneDrive, and with the change comes support for Achievements on Xbox One.

The Xbox One version of OneDrive was already available previously as SkyDrive, and it continues to allow users to view clips created with the system's Game DVR feature, videos, and photos. The ability to watch slideshows of the photos you've uploaded to OneDrive is encouraged with the newly implemented Achievements, which include tasks like viewing 10 photos from your camera roll or watching five hours of slideshows.

OneDrive provides users with 7GB of free storage and allows for an additional allotment of space by using the camera roll backup feature (3GB of free space) and referring friends to the service (500MB each, up to 5GB). Additionally, the first 100,000 people to use OneDrive will receive 100GB of free space for one year.

I've been getting some good use out of this service and must honestly recommend it. I've tried similar services such as Dropbox and Google Drive, but the added use of the Xbox One just makes this the easier choice in my honest opinion. If you haven't taken advantage of it yet, give it a try. It can serve all kinds of uses; I've uploaded movies via my Mac and then watched them in the other room via the Xbox. Not to mention it serves as a great backup harddrive for pictures and videos. Leave your thoughts and opinions below!
 
Yeah, I've been using Skydrive for a while. I have dropbox as well. I think this is a great move for Microsoft having expanded the cloud business. 100GB isn't that bad, considering they are giving all that free space for free. I use skydrive a lot to back up pics and documents at work.

Yeah, not to mention we can save a lot of space on Xbox One's HDD now that we have Skydrive.

Cool, more space for digital games and more space for other things. Haha. I've been waiting for something like this to happen. Now I can install a lot of games on this bad boy.
 
I've been using the service for quite a while, well only for saving pics and game videos that I've made on Xbox One. It's quite useful to be honest. I love the free storage on it. I wish they can expand it further to like 1TB.
 
All-in-one... that ONE aspect is getting everywhere. Hmmm... might give this a try. Seeing as how I may be getting an Xbox One in the near future, having this one will become handy for me.
 
Awesome. Now this gives me more incentive to finally use the service. And even better, since it'll integrate better with XB1, hmm.... awesome. Well done, MSFT. More incentive, more reason|!
 
I use the Skydrive mainly for saving the downloaded videos that I have for animes and movies. I keep record of them so if I get bored playing I watch the movies just to kill my boredom.

If you have an XB1 then you're already signed up. Your login information is the same info you use to login into Xbox Live.

Oh, really? Then sweet! Since I got an Xbox account (which you can already see) (and is also my Microsoft account for use with Skype, and I used it for the Games for Windows), then awesome. I got 7GB of space for myself. Well, time to get accustomed to it then.

Yup I usually upload a couple of digital movies so that I can watch it on any device and even on a friend's XB1.

Wow. This is nice. Hmmm... wonder if I can use this to back up some game saves I have. Got no XB1 yet but I do have some Steam game saves. This is sure gonna come in hand. Thanks KN1GHTMARE!

Thanks KN1GHTMARE. Well, I think I'll sign up then. At least when the XB1 comes, I'll already have the outlet to play all my saved stuff.
 
Hmmmm.... oh yeah, there's achievements in this OneDrive right? Wait... did I just read this: "5 hours of slideshows"? Wow, 5 hours of slideshows.
