Hello!

To show our appreciation of Windows Phone customers, we are giving you an extra 20 GB of free SkyDrive storage for one year. This is in addition to the 7 GB of free SkyDrive storage that all customers currently have.

SkyDrive is built into your Windows Phone. It's personal online storage that you can access ? along with the photos and files you save there ? at SkyDrive.com from any Internet-enabled device, and through the SkyDrive mobile app.

To apply this storage to your account, click here by 31 January 2014.*

If you do not yet have a SkyDrive account, you can sign up by clicking here. If you do not have or want a SkyDrive account, no action is needed, and there will be no change to your Windows Phone.

A great way of using this extra storage is to automatically back up the photos and videos you take on your phone. When your photos or files are on SkyDrive, you can still get to them if something happens to your phone.

To automatically save photos and videos to SkyDrive:

In the App list, tap Photos .

Tap More , then tap Settings.

Under Auto upload, tap SkyDrive.

Under Photos or Videos, tap the upload type you want: Good quality for lower resolution, or Best quality for full resolution.**

To get more information on using SkyDrive to back up your photos and videos, click here.

Enjoy your additional 20 GB of free SkyDrive storage.

From the Windows Phone and SkyDrive teams

* Your extra 20 GB of free storage will expire one year after you click on the green redemption link in this email.

** If you choose Good quality, your photos or videos may be uploaded to SkyDrive using your mobile data plan (if you connect to a WiFi network, they'll be uploaded over WiFi). If you choose Best quality, your photos and videos will only be uploaded when you're connected to a WiFi network.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By +samw61 · Posted

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
