In that case, you’ll have to turn to a storage service. Anecdotally, it’s plenty of room for videos, audio clips, presentations and documents, unless you’re working with something truly massive. Microsoft says it’s enough to handle most of the files sent through Skype. The file transfer feature lets users send files up to 300Mb in size, which is pretty big. Microsoft is facing massive competition in the video chat and messaging space, and this feature will help the company better keep up with Skype’s newer challengers. In the age of WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, WeChat, Line, Telegram and a host of other chat apps, having the ability to share files when people aren’t around (and keep them available across devices) is important. The new approach also lets users access the file across multiple devices, which means they can read the same document on their phone, computer or tablet, without having to request it over and over again. It’s a big improvement over the previous functionality, which required both parties to be online. That means a user could tweak a presentation and send it to a colleague over the weekend, and have it waiting for them when they log into Skype on Monday morning. Microsoft stepped up its battle with the armada of mobile messaging apps on Tuesday, announcing that Skype users can now send files to each other without the recipient needing to be online.
