Microsoft is renaming its SkyDrive cloud storage service to “OneDrive.” Microsoft says the name change, forced by a trademark case brought by British Sky Broadcasting Group, will take place soon, and the software giant has already registered the onedrive.com domain.
Microsoft is positioning the new OneDrive naming as the one place for documents, photos, and other content. “Changing the name of a product as loved as SkyDrive wasn’t easy,” admits Microsoft’s Ryan Gavin. “We are excited about what is to come, and can’t wait to share more.”
