The last update to OneDrive for Windows Phone came in late May. That was version...
Today's reveal that Microsoft has increased its free space for all OneDrive users from 7GB to 15GB won't affect the customers who already had 25GB of free space on the cloud storage service, thanks to a newly revealed "loyalty bonus".

One of the lesser known features in OneDrive is Groups, which, as the name implies, lets users not only create groups of contacts to share folders with, but also delegate a “co-owner” who can manage the group as well. And though Groups may not be one of the highly-publicized perks of OneDrive, it does enjoy a bit of a cult following. Sadly for that group of OneDrive users, Microsoft...

But auto-backups using OneDrive would only save the...
