Surely many of you take precautions not to run out of free space on your disk drives. For this we can resort to a multitude of solutions in order to achieve it. One of the most interesting solutions that we can use today are cloud storage services, a clear example of which is OneDrive.
We must know that many of today’s technology companies are launching their own platforms of this type specially designed for their customers. A clear example of all this can be found in Google with its Drive or Microsoft with OneDrive. These are remote storage services that we can use just by having an account with each of these firms. In these lines we are going to focus on what the Windows developer offers us.
Something we should know is that, as a general rule, the companies that provide us with this type of service offer a limited remote space. This is usually free, but in the event that we want to expand it, we will have to start paying a subscription. If we focus on Microsoft’s OneDrive , it can be very helpful for automated system backups. But we can give many more uses to this storage platform and save all kinds of files.
There is no doubt that one of the objectives of these remote spaces is that we get to free disk from our local computer. However, with all this, some users may also wish to play certain content directly from online servers . Therefore, when talking about Microsoft’s proposal, let’s see the possibility of carrying out these streaming reproductions directly.
Watch videos and listen to music from OneDrive
We have already told you before that on these remote servers of the search giant we have the possibility of saving all kinds of files. This includes the usual multimedia files corresponding to our videos or music . But it is one thing to save this content as storage, and quite another to play it directly via streaming.
Well, at this point we will tell you that we will have no problem playing multimedia content such as music and videos from OneDrive . In fact, the cloud storage service is compatible with the most widely used formats of this type today. It offers us its own integrated player so that we can enjoy these elements that we are commenting on directly. In order to achieve all this that we told you at the beginning, we only have to open the folder that contains those contents within the remote space.
Next, we will only have to double-click on the file in question, be it audio or video, for it to start working. Of course, we must bear in mind that the aforementioned player offered here is quite simple as well as limited. It has the usual buttons to start playing, pause or control the volume, little else. At the same time it is interesting to know that we have a button to be able to see the video that we have selected in full screen .
