It'll be interesting to see how Canonical will respond, if they will respond. Their service is called 'Ubuntu One' or sometimes just 'One'.
We'd know by now with XBox One.
The one thing that is most important in a file-sync solution for me is cross-platform support. And very few players in the field handle this well (Android/Linux/iOS/Windows/Mac). I doubt MS is even thinking of going cross-platform for SkyDrive, so meh.
There is a SkyDrive/OneDrive client for all of those OSes except Linux. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/skydrive/download
What a disaster of PR naming. The service is great but the constant rebranding is going to confuse customers. I guess ill see an app update on my Lumina soon too.
They were obligated to rename it after losing a case in the UK. Nothing to be done.

They should call it TwoDrive.
It works great most of the time, but occasionally on my surface I get a message like "40k of disk space needed" to open a 40k document. And it simply won't open. Sometimes on my laptop it won't save.

I would love to hear a testimonial from a Microsoft marketing insider as to where the naming trend came from, and how they view it internally. My most recent encounter was looking into the product currently known as "Microsoft Blend for Visual Studio 2012", previously known as "Microsoft Expression Blend for Visual Studio". I l…
I guess I'm somewhat of an anomaly in that I really like the Microsoft ecosystem. I have a Windows Phone, a Surface Pro 2, an XBox One, and so on, all the way to Office and Visual Studio. But, and I don't even know what a gorge is, as forgiving as being a fanboy makes me, sometimes Microsoft makes my gorge rise. I'm sure OneDrive will be nice. But WTF are they doing with Xbox Music on SkyDrive (and it seems OneDrive…
Every ecosystem has a pain in the ass step somewhere either by design (Apple/iTunes) or questionable integration (windows live or whatever it is called now). It's frustrating. Android may be better but my only experience is with 2.3 which is ancient.
For music, I actually got pissed off with it to the point of buying a CD player.
