SanDisk Memory Zone updated to account for SkyDrive

SanDisk MemoryZone is an Android app that shows how much space is left across a user’s cloud storage accounts in one list. An update added support for Microsoft’s SkyDrive, the service that was later renamed OneDrive.

What the app does

Instead of opening each cloud service in turn, MemoryZone lists the connected accounts and shows how full each one is. It is a quick way to see where free space remains before moving photos or documents.

What the SkyDrive update changed

Before the update, SkyDrive users could not see their account in the overview. After it, SkyDrive appeared next to the other supported services, which made the overview more complete for people who split files between providers.

Performance notes

The original review found the app useful but slow, especially on a tablet. Loading several accounts at once took noticeable time, so the app suits an occasional check more than constant use.

A name change worth knowing

Microsoft renamed SkyDrive to OneDrive in 2014. Anyone searching for the app’s SkyDrive feature today should look for OneDrive in the account list, and check the app’s current store page for the services it still supports.
