SkyDrive becomes OneDrive

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.

Of course, changing the name of a product as loved as SkyDrive wasn’t easy. We believe the new OneDrive name conveys the value we can deliver for you and best represents our vision for the future. We are excited about what is to come, and can’t wait to share more.

SkyDrive had a nice ring to it but I guess BSkyB had other ideas. An apparent preview is available too.

As names go, OneDrive doesn't seem too bad, hopefully MS did its due diligence and made sure this name is ok

They need to add a product called TwoDrive.

Then RedDrive and BlueDrive.

One.com might protest against this name. Microsoft might have to change it to something else as One.com does cloud storage.

I think one and onedrive are different enough. Oh one.com may try to extract some money via a lawsuit but I think MS did even more due diligence in this go around and probably feel very confident.

Sounds like a perfectly acceptable alternative name for SkyDrive. Fantastic service regardless of the name.
