SkyDrive Android app debuts in Google Play Store

Microsoft has released the official Android app for SkyDrive cloud storage service in the Google Play Store. The new app allows you to access and browse all the SkyDrive content right from your Android device.

According to Microsoft, the SkyDrive Android app works best with Ice Cream Sandwich powered devices, but will support Gingerbread and Honeycomb devices as well.

SkyDrive for Android features

Access all of your SkyDrive content including files shared with you.
View recently used documents.
Choose multiple photos or videos to upload from your phone.
Share your files and photos - send a link in email or in another app.
Open your SkyDrive files in other Android apps.
Manage your files - delete, or create new folders.

The new Android app joins Windows Phone and iOS apps for SkyDrive, which were released earlier.

"In building the new SkyDrive app for Android, we wanted to ensure we kept the same intuitive design of all SkyDrive experiences while also making use of Android design patterns and conventional interactions, so this feels natural for people with Android phones," stated Mike Torres, Group Program Manager, SkyDrive Apps in a blog post.
