Why the cloudy disk SkyDrive is renamed into OneDrive

Many with surprise found a usual cloudy disk from Microsoft under the new name OneDrive. Why it occurred? Whether there were some new opportunities in OneDrive useful to the user? And can us will give free gigabytes which are often given by developers in such cases?

Instruction

1. Renaming took place in performance of the judgment. The British Sky Broadcasting Group company won against Microsoft. Therefore from a name of a disk it was necessary to remove the word Sky. Funny, as the word One is among names of services of the British company too - Sky One.

2. OneDrive corresponds to the new concept of vision of Microsoft of a role of the cloud storage. Except that further integration with OneDrive of desktop devices running Windows is increased, the serious step is taken towards mobile platforms. In particular, now there is full Android client in which even loading of photos in the Film mode (the mode similar to ""Camera"" of other cloud storages) is implemented. OneDrive - an important component and in operation of applications of Office Mobile for Android.

3. Except ephemeral promises of some future benefits, users can receive additional 20 GB for compensation of possible problems with renaming of a cloudy disk. However, it only for a year and only to certain users.
And here 3 GB give all who will load photos by means of the Film mode. And 500 MB for each user invited by you. The general restriction of the free place which it is possible to receive in such a way - 8 GB: 3 GB for ""film"" and 5 GB for invited.
