RIP SkyDrive. Welcome OneDrive

Microsoft has officially renamed its cloud storage service with some useful new features including collaborative editing and smart video streaming.
This change was because of a legal dispute with TV company BskyB, and on Wednesday the rebrand went global
Everthinng about OneDrive remains the same as SkyDrive expect for several massive improvements. The biggest being people can now simultaneously access and edit files stored in OneDrive. Other additions include an updated android app that will automatically save photos and videos captured on the device to OneDrive.
Apart from that, today Microsoft also lauches a new referral program, it is very reminiscent of Dropbox's referral system. If a friend signs up using your link, you get 500MB of free storage, up to a maximum of 10 friends and doing the maths of that we have a maximum of 5GB to be given out.
With this introduction, i guess the competition between these cloud system, that is, google's Drive, apple's iCloud is going to be more stiff. So watch out and see out each of them edge over the other.
