14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft recently announced that its cloud-based storage service SkyDrive would be renamed to OneDrive in order to settle a trademark dispute in the United Kingdom, but no timeline has been provided for this update.
LiveSide.net has the first screenshots of OneDrive.com in action, along with first signs of some new features, including so-called “co-owned folders” that would be available for all users.
“Co-owners can add, edit, and delete files, and invite people to a folder. You can collaborate with people by adding them as co-owners (to a folder). Co-owners can add folders to their own OneDrive and access it from anywhere,” Microsoft says in the description of the feature.
OneDrive has also been integrated into Windows 8.1 Update 1, the first update for the recently-released Windows 8.1 operating system that’s going to be released in April.
