Microsoft rechristens 'SkyDrive' as 'OneDrive'


    Posted: 27 Jan 2014

    Microsoft just announce the awaited replacement name for SkyDrive, its cloud storage service. As first spotted by Rod Trent at Windows ITPro, the new name is "OneDrive." Microsoft is confirming the new name in a January 27 blog post.

    OneDrive.com, a preview site, notes that "OneDrive is coming soon."

    "Get ready for an even better place to store and share your favorite things across all your favorite devices," reads the text on the site. "OneDrive is everything you love about SkyDrive and More and it's coming soon."

    There's an email sign-up for notification about OneDrive. A pointer to a new "OneDrive blog" sends readers to a blog populated with articles about SkyDrive.

    Whatever they rename it won't mean anything to me; still will not be using it. . .:)

    Well, name changes don't matter much in my opinion. It is still going to be the same thing we know as skydrive.
