More OneDrive integration in Skype.

I am Always signed into Skype with my Microsoft-account and I often want to share files between my contacts and I, but on my P.C. I can only share pictures via sending it (which is extremely slow on Skype), or I could more easily use my Windows Phone to send pictures, but my pictures aren't Always on my Windows Phone, but they are Always in OneDrive (as I've merged Libraries with OneDrive during the 8.1 upgrade), and I wish it would be more easy to share and colaborate with OneDrive.

Plus Skype needs to become more of ''a Microsoft product'', when you download the Facebook plug-in it still states ''Skype Technologies S.A.'', and its apps are published as ''Skype'', rarely does one even see ''the Microsoft Skype Division'' and it looks as if its an independent company, so Skype needs to have an identity that's ''both Skype and Microsoft'', adding OneDrive integration and colaboration would also improve Skype as a business tool, and would promote both OneDrive usage and the advantages of having a Microsoft-account while being signed in to Skype.

An additional idea that could accompany this is to ''save picture/drawing to OneDrive'', or maybe even to save a Skype video-message to OneDrive (though this SHOULD be accompanied by the file size, as not everyone has unlimited storage).

The problem in a business environment, we have computers in the office, business laptops and windows phones. onedrive sounds great to be able to have files where ever you are. BUT there is also nothing stopping someone from going home and downloading all their (read: company) data onto their home machine. We then loose control of this data.

What would be good is, you can set a security feature that when you set up a new machine to sync to, it asks for an admin password to allow to sync to this device.

OR!

The same principal when someone tries to sync their email in 365. you approve in the portal that device to sync up for the first time.

We can then allow business devices we have control of to sync but not their home pc.

I uploaded my whole photo library to One Drive with an Upstream of 2MBit. It took me near a month to do this. I would like to see a feature to improve this first initial backup of large file collections, here is my suggestion:

Allow a user to provide a zip of a complete directory structure with all contents included through a web portal or the background upload process (in that case maybe with a special name like "initial upload.zip"). Those upload will be faster than synchronizing e.g. 30.000 photo files upstream.

Materialize the uploaded file on your backend and have from this point the normal sync mechanisms taking place.

In my opinion this would allow backup stuff to OneDrive much faster than through the current process.

Here's my idea, let OneDrive have Q.R. Code recognition and the ability to recognize books, C.D.'s, the Bing Translator (through text recognition), and bar-code scanners built into it, a common problem I face is that I don't have internet on my Phone most of the time, and when I see a Q.R. code I first have to take a picture of it with my Phone, and then view it on a browser to scan it at home, sure it may not be a common problem, but image recognition and the ability to show ''website links in the picture''.

P.S.

I know that the Windows Phone-team is very busy with the release of Windows 10 for Phones, and they probably shouldn't have any distractions, but this idea is one for long term development, not for something to come directly, I don't want the Windows Phone-team to lose focus in any way.

P.P.S.

I just realised that you can see it in the history of Bing Vision, but it would make OneDrive more functional nonetheless.

I get the need for a consistent view, use case.
BUT... I like to offline it all on the PC(this should stay as a option for desktop even if in a non-mainstream delivery)

Maybe a simple "oneportfolio" where you can set a max for the size
1-2... whatever gig across devices and the files are added to your mobile portfolio. then to add or remove files in folio from any device and that just occurs on all.

I get placeholders are non-descript thats why my PC syncs all.

entering onedrive view or folio view is in essence the same structure

Then adding or removing files to my offline folio is a simple process
user defined size and files needed ( long press/ right click access)

Currently, OneDrive features making individual folders offline with one caveat:

"If you have multiple PCs, a file can be online-only on one PC and available offline on another. Any files you added to OneDrive from your PC or previously opened on your PC are automatically available offline on that PC. Any files you created on the OneDrive website or added to OneDrive from another device are online-only on your PC."

I wish there was the option to allow you to make a folder available offline and for it to auto sync files that were later added by another device later.

It's a bit of a hassle having to remember to uncheck and recheck "Make Available Offline" on a parent folder, because some files (which were added from another device) are online-only.
