Gallery: OneClip App for Windows 10

Microsoft is apparently working on all kinds of apps to sync your work across devices using the cloud. One of those apps, OneClip, leaked today and so I tried it out.

I was able to easily install it on two Windows 10 desktops and an HP Stream 7.  Pairing devices is accomplished through the generation of a unique number that is then entered on the other devices through the OneClip app.

Once they are paired then anything you copy into your clipboard is then shared via OneDrive to all of the other paired devices.  Did I mention it is very fast at this part?

In the OneClip app clips are organized into different categories such as:

  • Pinned

  • Websites

  • Images

  • Phone Numbers

  • Text

  • Addresses

You can also apparently sort items based on the device the info was clipped on.

This is a very neat program/service and since I am always bouncing between devices doing screenshots it will prove very helpful.

There are also apps for iOS, Android and yes - even Windows Phone.

 

 

About the Author

Richard Hay

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
