Microsoft will rename its own cloud storage of "SkyDrive" in "OneDrive". The software giant has been the domain onedrive.com registered and the company has made a promotional video on YouTube online. Microsoft already announced that the name change will soon take place.
Microsoft says to himself: "will continue to operate as you expect and all of your content will be available on OneDrive and OneDrive for Business respectively as the new name is rolled out across the portfolio."
Why the renaming takes place, should any interested reader already be clear. Had Microsoft in Good old England lost a name dispute with British Sky Broadcasting Group (BSkyB), which already called SkyDrive its own service and the longer naming rights were held.
Microsoft is positioning the new name "OneDrive" as a place for documents, photos and other content. "Changing the name of a product as loved as SkyDrive was not easy,"said Microsoft's Ryan Gavin. "We are excited about what is to come , and can not wait to share more. "
I use SkyDrive for quite some time and am thrilled by the way and the steps that Microsoft has already gone down. SkyDrive has nevertheless grown to become an established size at the cloud storage market. Meanwhile, the administration of the service has been simplified and adapted to a continuous uniform, uncluttered design. With OneDrive, Microsoft has come up with a catchy name and the service will surely find its appeal in the inventory as well as new customers.
