                      ONEDRIVE

                      OneDrive was launched by Microsoft in 2007. It was also known as SkyDrive. OneDrive is a cloud
                      file storage service. This cloud-based service gives users a space to store and share documents.
                      When a person is working on multiple projects, he/she has to deal with loads of files. These files
                      occupy a lot of disk space on the laptop or desktop. The person might even want to access the
                      images and documents from his/her mobile, iPad or laptop.

                      OneDrive  helps reduce  the clutter  from the desktop  and access  these  files
                      to  edit/read  wherever  the user is. This Internet based  storage  platform by
                      Microsoft offers 5 GB of free space to the user with a Microsoft account.

                      Windows 10 users have OneDrive as an inbuilt feature on their computers. To use the services of
                      OneDrive, you must be registered with Microsoft’s website.

                                RSS (REALLY SIMPLE SYNDICATION)

                      All of us search the Internet for so many things every day. We visit some sites regularly. RSS
                      tracks this information and regularly sends you updates whenever the sites are updated. RSS is
                      used to organise your favourite blogs, movies, news, images, etc. in a single window. Before RSS,

                      the user had to visit each website and check for updates. This led to spending a lot of time if no
                      new updates found. With RSS (RSS feeds) you save time. It fetches the updated web feed or newly
                      published information from the website/blog directly to you. So, you do not have to search for
                      updated information again and again.
                      RSS is  a  collection  of web  feeds  that  could  be  headlines,  music  videos,  blog  entries,  etc.  to

                      enable RSS, you must first subscribe to content from multiple sources, like YouTube and blogs.
