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.

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

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.
