When cloud storage is getting popular then one of the most famous cloud storage Microsoft’s SkyDrive renamed into OneDrive. Yea, you are getting the truth. OneDrive is your new destination to save documents, files and photos. In a blog Microsoft says that changing brand name was not an easy job. Even no brand doesn’t want to change the brand name. And in internet domain name is very vital and if you change, then there is a big risk that you will lose traffic.
The problem arises when the SkyDrive, cloud storage site came on the market in 2007 by a US firm. Then BSkyB or British Sky Broadcasting makes a complaint against the name of SkyDrive that its name infringing on its copyright. So they forced Microsoft to change the name of SkyDrive. This war goes for long time in-between Microsoft and BSkyB and finally forced to change the name from SkyDrive to OneDrive.
There was a big money deal behind this name changing, but Micosoft does not anything about this.
Microsoft ensures people that their service will not change if the name change from SkyDrive to OneDrive. And also promise that they will provide better service to files, music, documents, photos, etc. safe and secure in the cloud.
Your SkyDrive or SkyDrive Pro service will continue in the new platform of OneDrive and OneDrive Business respectively. So don’t worry if the name changes that’s why William Shakespeare said
What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
