Microsoft reintroduced SkyDrive as OneDrive

Microsoft has changed its cloud service's name from ‘SkyDrive’ name to ‘OneDrive’ after losing trademark lawsuit to British Sky Broadcasting Group. Microsoft's online storage platform SkyDrive will henceforth be known as OneDrive, the company has announced.

 "Why OneDrive? We know that increasingly you will have many devices in your life, but you really want only one place for your most important stuff. One place for all of your photos and videos. One place for all of your documents. One place that is seamlessly connected across all the devices you use. You want OneDrive for everything in your life," Microsoft said.

Microsoft notes in the blog post that the SkyDrive service itself is not changing, and all users’ content will still remain on OneDrive and OneDrive for Business as the new name rolls out across Microsoft’s portfolio. However, the OneDrive preview page hints there may be new things in store, saying “OneDrive is everything you love about SkyDrive and more.” The page is currently accepting email sign-ups from those who want to be notified when OneDrive is live.
