Windows 8, 10 App OneDrive for Business Made Available for Download

Microsoft was forced to rename SkyDrive into OneDrive, which, we have to agree, isn’t such a bad name, after all. It basically has the same name as OneNote. Now, the official Windows 8 App ‘OneDrive for Business’ has landed in the Windows Store.

For those who aren’t aware of this, the new ‘OneDrive for Business’ app for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 users has been formerly known as SkyDrive Pro. So, if you are acquainted with the previous service, then most of its features won’t be new for you. You still have to sign in with your Office 365 or SharePoint online account to be able to use it. However, it does bring some updates such as the ability to view photos inside the app, to upload folders and all files, to open and save files from other applications; along with other bug fixes.
