Microsoft’s SkyDrive is now OneDrive


Microsoft was involved in a Trademark fight over the name “SkyDrive” and it lost. So, they had to rebrand it and from now on, Microsoft’s SkyDrive will be called as “Microsoft OneDrive”. Microsoft’s OneDrive is one among the many cloud storage options offered by big companies of the Internet – Google offers Google Drive, Dropbox, Box and many others.

One of the nicest things about Microsoft OneDrive is that it comes with 7GB of free storage for starters(Google Drive offers 5GB while Dropbox offers 2GB). Another thing that is cool about Microsoft OneDrive is that it offers a very good sync experience along with Microsoft Office, so it would be great for enterprise consumers.

Among the many similarities that it shares with the other cloud storage providers, it offers official apps for smartphone platforms – Android, iOS, Windows Phone which can be used to access your data.

The rebranding is complete and all of the previous SkyDrive products are now OneDrive(Android, iOS, Windows Phone apps and desktop apps)
