Previously, Microsoft offered 25GB of free storage, 5GB of which you could dedicate to Windows Live Mesh. But at the time, Microsoft imposed a 50MB file size limit. Now the file size upload limit is 2GB – which is something I’ve been hoping Microsoft would increase for quite a while. The company is offering a limited time loyalty Offer that lets you keep your 25GB of storage....

The new feature allows you to see how much time you’re spending (wasting) on the app....
Fast-forward a few years, and these are still great mobile devices that run full versions of Windows. But that small storage capacity is becoming more of a challenge. The default setup for Windows 10 is quite small – around 8 to 10 GBs. But with each passing update, Windows 10 will start expanding. This makes the operating system a chore to manage on lower storage capacity devices with 32 GB drives or less....
