I've had three different full-time jobs, attended three colleges or universities, and worked several freelance jobs along the way. At the same time, I've lived or spent significant time in Idaho, Maryland, England, and Wisconsin.
MICROSOFT ONEDRIVE WINDOWS EARLY ANDROID
In the last decade, I've had or worked regularly on an iPhone, two Surface devices, three Lumia devices, an Android phone, an iPad, a MacBook Pro, multiple Windows laptops, and a Windows desktop.
Why OneDrive is my most important tech of the decade At that time, it also gained deep integration with several Microsoft's services. Between the rebranding in 2013 and the end of 2019, OneDrive became a viable cloud storage option for documents, images, and videos. OneDrive continued to see general updates and improvements following the branding shift and gained an Android app as well. After a transition period, SkyDrive became OneDrive. A High Court Ruling in the UK stated that the use of the word "sky" confused customers as BSkyB had several services that included the name "sky," such as Sky Go streaming. OneDrive officially came to be in 2013 when a lawsuit by British Sky Broadcasting (BSkyB), now known as Sky UK, forced Microsoft to change the name of SkyDrive.
With a SkyDrive app on almost major platforms and integrations with photo services and an online version of Office in place, SkyDrive greatly resembled the core of what OneDrive is today. This was a major step towards Office's cloud-heavy future and the ability to use Office apps on any device.Ģ011 saw the release of SkyDrive apps on Windows Phone and iOS, and Windows an macOS apps followed in 2012.

Thurrott summed up the vision of Windows Live from 2007, "Looking ahead, Microsoft is working on the next-generation version of Windows Live, which it sees delivering as a set of software and services suites, one each for the browser, Windows PCs, and Windows Mobile-based devices."Ī major update to SkyDrive in 2010 brought support for Office Web Apps, which are now known as Office Online. These core concepts live on in OneDrive, which allows you to have folders viewable only by you, folders shared with specific people, and folders that can be accessed by anyone with a link. One of the newly announced services back then was Windows Live Folders, which was split into Personal Folders, Shared Folders, and Public Folders. At the time, Microsoft was consolidating web services and products under the Windows brand. To gain more insight into OneDrive's origins, we need to take a look back through the WayBackMachine to see an article from Paul Thurrot's SuperSite for Windows from 2007. OneDrive's original technological ancestor was Windows Live Folders, which launched to beta testers in August 2007. Like many technologies, OneDrive began under a different name and evolved over time. Source: Windows Central (Image credit: Source: Windows Central)
