SkyDrive will soon become OneDrive to save all your online content

Microsoft was taken to court earlier last year by British Sky Broadcasting Group for using the name "SkyDrive" claiming that it infringed on the "Sky" trademark. (SkyDrive is the place where all Windows Phones back up in the cloud, and it also has apps for Android, iOS, and the web.) Because of this litigation, Microsoft is changing the name of SkyDrive to OneDrive.

Microsoft promises that this transition will be seamless to current SkyDrive users; you won't have to do anything other than recognize when the new name and website launch, so your data will be fine. Like with their Xbox One, Microsoft wants OneDrive to offer an all in one experience for your cloud storage, allowing you to seamlessly store you documents, images, videos and other files.

You can head over to OneDrive.com right now and submit your email address for more information as the launch. Meanwhile we will keep you updates as more information on OneDrive is made available by Microsoft.
