The platform par excellence to make calls to any phone in the world, Skype, in addition to being the oldest in the market, continues to innovate and offer new functions so as not to be forgotten. Ever since Microsoft took over the company, the guys from Redmond have been adding new functions to try to be an alternative to messaging applications that currently reign in the market such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger ...
The application has just received a new update for all platforms where it is located, which allows us to share files, photos and videos with a maximum limit of 300 MB, even if our contacts are not connected at the time. This new function is ideal now that the holidays are coming and surely we are going to make the occasional video call to our family members, with whom we will want to share the videos and photographs that we take on our vacations.
In addition, this new update will allow us to download the same file on all the devices where we use the Skype application, so that we will not have to send it to other devices later. This function It is very similar to what Telegram currently offers us, with which we can download any type of file that is sent to us on all devices associated with the same account.
Microsoft is testing various capabilities to be able to send files through its messaging call platform, setting the limit at 300 MB to prevent it from being used as a system to share content protected by copyright, such as movies. If we want to send larger files we will have to use our OneDrive account, which will be the same that we use with Skype after the unification of accounts that the service suffered shortly after it was bought by Microsoft.
