Virtual Surveyor has announced that its smart drone surveying software package can be integrated with Microsoft Office OneDrive accounts. In a statement, the company said that the integration is part of an effort to improve the data storage, remote file access, and functionality of the software and enable “users to inexpensively save data in the Cloud for access anywhere and to easily work on projects with teams.”

Virtual Surveyor CEO Tom Op ‘t Eyndt said, “Our objective with OneDrive integration is to make project access easy and affordable by using Cloud storage many users already pay for. With OneDrive, there is no special configuration by the user; Virtual Surveyor project data can be saved to Cloud Locations just like Word or Excel files.”

Virtual Surveyor Version 10.1 with OneDrive integration is now available. The new version “includes Microsoft SharePoint, leverages Cloud storage capabilities that many users already have.” What’s more, users “can now add local, network, and cloud locations as Favorites Locations to make it easier to find surveying projects they work on frequently.”

In addition, Virtual Surveyor’s Stockpile functionality, which enables calculation of materials in stockpiles surveyed with drone imagery, has been updated to allow users to “assign a Material through a search function instead of having to scroll through a long list.”

A free 14-day trial of Virtual Surveyor is available by visiting www.virtual-surveyor.com.
