After what in 2012 Microsoft had to give up the name of Metro interface for Windows 8, replacing it with Modern interface (responsible for this change being those from German Metro AG), it seems that this year comes with a new name change for a product of the company, namely renaming SkyDrive in OneDrive (obviously, there is also a person responsible for this modification, this time it is about British Sky Broadcsting Group or, more briefly, Bskyb).

A few days ago, Microsoft he did the official announcement How SkyDrive will become known as OneDrive soon, the company's explanation for name change a online storage service being a bit more poetic than the real one, namely that the users, although they use more -Device (laptop, phone, tablet), they only want one place to store files important such as documents, pictures or video clips:

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.

Vestea buna este ca utilizatorii SkyDrive nu vor intampina probleme in ceea ce priveste folosirea serviciului online, Microsoft garantand ca acesta va fi neintrerupt, singura modificare fiind doar numele acestuia si SITE pe care fisierele utilizatorilor vor fi disponibile (onedrive.com instead skydrive.com). Cel mai probabil in scurt timp va fi lansat si un update for aplicatia SkyDrive, care va aplica si schimbarea de nume si care se va asigura ca pentru accesarea fisierelor va fi folosit noul nume de domeniu.

At the moment SkyDrive inca este functional, again OneDrive inca nu a fost lansat, utilizatorii putand afla mai multe Details despre modificarile aduse serviciului online pe onedrive.com.
