Viber brings video calling to iOS and Android apps

If you are looking for a Skype or FaceTime alternative, Viber is finally giving you that on your phones. Video calling is making its way out of Viber’s desktop application into iOS and Android apps. It supposedly works even if the connection strength isn’t that good. Viber said you would need to make voice calls first before setting up video calls. Once in a video call though, you still have the option to send text messages or transfer the call to your desktop if you want to. iOS users need to have an iPhone 4S with iOS 7 or later. Meanwhile, Android users need Android 4.0 or later device, at least 1.3-megapixels for the front-facing camera, and 1.5GB of RAM or more. Both need to have Viber 5.0 or later versions as well.

Enable photo auto-upload and double your Microsoft OneDrive storage

Microsoft is feeling extra generous (or more likely using it to market their cloud storage) as they are offering double the storage for its OneDrive users (meaning 15GB base storage + 15GB for enabling auto-upload). The catch? You just need to enable auto-upload of photos on your device of choice. Yes, you can even do it on your Windows PC. You have until the end of the month to claim the free storage. And in this day and age, who doesn’t want extra space?

PCs get first dibs on iCloud Drive

While Yosemite is getting tweaked prior to its official release, Windows users are getting the rare opportunity to have access to Apple software before Mac users. The updated version of iCloud for Windows adds full support for iCloud Drive. So yes, you can access the files you’ve stored on Apple’s version of Dropbox right from your desktop. Of course, Mac users will gain access to additional iCloud features soon enough. But for now you can enjoy first dibs on the service.
