Ratings and reviews

I try using Microsoft as much as possible, but sometimes, like with this app, I wonder why. I don't know if it's just me(it's definitely not), but sometimes it feels like MS apps are made needlessly complicated. It's super annoying when storage organization an freeing up space turn into an endless loop of not being able to see my data but instead fight with Microsoft prompts about buying more storage, even after paying for more. It's not easy or user friendly at all.

There is one issue that I have with this service, although, because I'm positive, it's operator error, I feel giving anything less than 5 stars as a review would be wrong. My issue is that I have a hard time finding many of the photos & videos. They are there somewhere, though, because I see them quite often when a memory notification pops up, and Wha-La! There they are! Being a technologically handicapped old guy, I wish there was an organizational tool that could be applied to make it easier!

My one drive said it needed and update. I went ahead with the update and it completely wiped my locked files and several unlocked files. If you access your one drive on your phone, don't update it. You will lose irreplaceable files. Edit: through my own troubleshooting, I was able to restore my files but it took a substantial amount of effort. Strongly recommend creating backups of all files.

What's new

You can now display your media files on a Chromecast receiver or TV from a compatible device. Look for a Cast icon showing in the top toolbar. We hope you enjoy this top-requested feature!
