Microsoft is working on a new productivity app that will allow users to store items they’ve copied in the cloud.
The OneClip app, currently operating in beta, is designed to make it easier for folks to “get back” to photos, screenshots, phone numbers, addresses they have copied.
It works by scanning the device’s clipboard before automatically pasting content into OneClip, sharing it over the cloud and negating the need to manually move content between devices.
“Copy once, paste anywhere” reads a screengrab from the app, which will be compatible with Windows, Windows Phone, iOS and Android.
The app’s description reads (via The Next Web):”
OneClip will also recognise what kinds of data the user is pasting, be it text, photos, screenshots or phone numbers and drop everything into the relevant categories. It’ll also have enough smarts to ensure sensitive information like passwords aren’t pasted everywhere.
