Microsoft SkyDrive now becomes OneDrive




Microsoft OneDrive


Microsoft is renaming SkyDrive as OneDrive. The company's cloud file-storage service, which launched in 2007, will soon be come with the new name, and all SkyDrive products will eventually migrate to OneDrive.com.

" Microsoft has been increasingly steering its customers toward using SkyDrive, giving away 200GB of free storage for two years to anyone who buys a Surface tablet as well as making SkyDrive the default place to store documents in apps like Word and Excel in Windows 8.1.

Functionally, OneDrive will work the same as SkyDrive and users of SkyDrive and SkyDrive Pro shouldn't notice any changes apart from the name. SkyDrive Pro, a the business-focused arm of the service, also gets a new name: OneDrive for Business, mirroring the naming convention established by other cloud services, such as Dropbox.
