Good news for users of Microsoft's OneDive and Apple's iCloud Drive services. Microsoft is removing the 2 GB file-size limitation from both consumer OneDrive and OneDrive for Business, while Apple has made the iCloud Drive a little bit more competitive than before. OneDrive users can now upload files up to 10 GB using the desktop apps for Windows and Mac, all of the mobile apps, and the OneDrive website.
The company is also working on enabling this for its business customers.

Microsoft has also improved the OneDrive desktop experience by increasing the number of files that can be downloaded or uploaded at a given time on PCs and Macs. The company claims this parallel syncing netted an approximately threefold increase in syncing speed. These enhancements have begun rolling out and will be available worldwide in the coming weeks.

In addition, people who use Windows 7 and 8 are now able to to quickly get links to content in their OneDrive folder without needing to go to the web. By right-clicking the item or items they would like to share, they'll see a "Share a OneDrive link" option that will create a sharing link and add it to their Clipboard. From there, useers can paste it directly into an email, IM, or other message. This feature has begun rolling out to OneDrive on Windows 7 and 8 and will be available worldwide within a few weeks. It will also become available on Windows 8.1 and Mac.

Last but not least, OneDrive users are now able to drag folders directly into OneDrive.com from browsers where folder dragging/dropping is supported (specifically Google Chrome).

Seperately, Apple has announced the full pricing structure for iCloud Drive. Previously, Apple only offered up to 50 GB in iCloud, and charged $100 per year for it. For comparison, Google Drive at the time offered 100 GB for only $24 USD per year.

With the new prices, Apple is offering a 20 GB option for only $0.99 per month, and also offers tiers up to 1 TB. However, the free tier remains at 5 GB.

Despite the new pricing, Apple's cloud offering remains less attractive than Google's and Microsoft's. For instance, Apple is offering 20 GB on iCloud Drive for $0.99/month, but if you spend $2/month you get 100 GB on both OneDrive and Google Drive.

The same applies to the higher tiers, with Apple asking $240 for 1 TB of storage, Microsoft to offer 1 TB of storage and a full version of Office for $70 per year, or 5 x 1 TB and 5 installs of Office for $100 per year. Google comes in at 1 TB for $120 per year, and DropBox has also lowered their pricing with 1 TB per year for $100.

However, Apple will refund current iCloud customers for the difference in what they already paid for their annual subscription.
