OneDrive / Office Online / Outlook.com - Thread

[Ian S.]

So I now see OneDrive's branding in the Office Online (App's Titlebar) If I'm not mistaken, they originally said "Skydrive" Right?

Do You Guys See it Too?:

Lets hope Microsoft stops changing the name.

[TAZMINATOR]

Yup I got that too.

Do you think it is a possibility Microsoft read Neowin and that is how they came up with OneDrive? https://www.neowin.net/news/no-skydrive-will-not-be-rebranded-as-new-drive

Yep I see OneDrive branding, however it still redirects me to skydrive.live.com

I signed my self up to hear when one drive was available a couple of weeks ago and just got this email! 20GB for a year, not bad... not bad at all!

Honestly, why does Microsoft keep renaming these things? I'd imagine if you sat down an average consumer and asked them to pin down the name of MS services it would be a lot like playing whack-a-mole. They change far too much far too fast name wise.

This time for legal reasons BSkyB wanted the name they don't want anyone else to use the Sky

as what anothercookie said..

 

if you have products and you do not want the name changes, make sure you use your own brand, not use brand from others...  which is why this causes confusion to the users and you may get the lawsuits.

 

Seems to me that almost everything are not original these days.    For example, Sky TV, SkyDrive,  almost everyone use 'Sky' in their brand.

Doesn't Microsoft have a legal department? Shouldn't they sort these issues out before they publicly launch these products?

 

I just don't see how they hope to make it in the consumer space with the constant name changing. Brands take time to build... You can't be restarting that process all the time.

100 GB Free!!!!

I have logged in a few times today, didn't get any extra space. I tried again as soon as I saw Ian's post, literally about 1 minute after the last time I tried, and BAM! 100GB free. lol

That's because the offer only came into effect at 11:11am PST.  Users gained the extra space only if they logged in starting then.

 

 

 

 

EDIT:

 

It still says SkyDrive if you check the drop down menu from Outlook, People, or Calender.  That will change soon I'm sure.

[Cosmin]

As for the desktop app? Still on Skydrive.. won't update and change automatically to OneDrive?

I just got an email offering 20GB for one year also an additional code to give to someone else. If you use both codes you get 20GB for two years instead of 40GB for one year.

Has anyone been able to get the 3GB camera roll bonus? I enabled the feature and uploaded some photos but haven't received it. Do I need to upload a certain quantity of photos or something?

[firey]

says I only have 25gb

I got it, not sure what I did though.

 

But nothing from one drive promo, still only 268 gb

[Ian S.]

I have 2 Windows Phone's (the 20 GB Enthusiast Bonus) + 25 GB grandfathered in + 100GB OneDrive Bonus + Camera Roll Bonus + Referral Bonus (just got that)

I know there was a 3GB Outlook.com beta bonus.

That's it!  Stop rubbing in!

They just agreed to the terms, because they wanted to make a deal with Sky for Xbox One, so they didn't want to fight them in court.

I never got the Window Phone bonus thing, even though I am signed in.

[tuckeratlarge]

Whats the point of the bonus space when its only temporary?
