With Apple’s software, while the iWork apps save version history, there’s no equivalent versioning feature built into iCloud Drive. This works with all file types, not only Microsoft documents but also PDFs, photos, videos, and more. OneDrive has a useful version history tool that allows you to revert files to previous versions from the past 30 days. There are a few similar collaborative features, such as the ability to work simultaneously, but unlike OneDrive, you can’t access and edit documents from the browser interface, which limits you to editing on fully synced devices.
What do you think about the reduction changes Microsoft is implementing with OneDrive? Let us know in the comments below.ICloud has similar integration with Apple’s iWork apps – Pages, Numbers, and Keynote – which are free to Apple device owners. Before the 15GB offering was introduced, Microsoft used to offer 7GB of free storage. The plan that got hurt the most is perhaps the free tier, as the company is reducing three times its size from 15GB to 5GB, and customers will no longer have Camera Roll bonus storage. Now, users might think twice before choosing OneDrive over Dropbox and Google Drive. While the one terabyte plan should be more than enough space for many users, the unlimited offering was compelling for many customers and helped Microsoft to sell more. So, there you go folks, Microsoft is really changing its way of doing business with OneDrive. That means that you will not be able to access the content in your OneDrive until you take action.
