SkyDrive online storage service marks 250 million users

According to the latest report from Microsoft giant, their SkyDrive storage service has just reached 250 million users. It is worth noting that this service has increased by 50 million subscribers since Windows 8 was released 7 months ago.

Microsoft's new Windows 8 operating system is said to support the SkyDrive service with the Metro interface. SkyDrive not only supports devices running Windows but users can also download this application for free from other devices running the platform.

Remember, three months ago Microsoft officially closed the Windows Live service with more than 25,000 users and encouraged them to switch to SkyDrive registration so the number of users of Microsoft's cloud storage services surged.

Microsoft is very interested in developing its online storage service by constantly adding new features to SkyDrive. A few days ago, Microsoft added a feature that allows you to directly insert documents and images from SkyDrive into the editor screen of Outlook.com.

Despite impressive user growth, Microsoft acknowledged its service is facing stiff competition from Dropbox and Google Drive.
