Microsoft OneDrive for Business - Very Nice Additonal Cloud Storage App!

Believe I have figured out OneDrive for Business!  I have used OneDrive for many, many years (used to be called SkyDrive).  However, I was confused between the two apps. All of our University faculty, and staff have OneDrive for Business now.  I had go to my unify account and open my faculty email to see the OneDrive for Business app.  I played with the app - found it easy to drag files into it, make new files, and to create folders.  Since it is secure storage, I will be able to mirror my computer with it. 

Afterwards, I downloaded the OneDrive for Business to my iPad and Microsoft Surface tablet. 

I still have my old OneDrive account and Dropbox.  At work, we are transitioning to moving all university files over to OneDrive for Business.  Dropbox will be only for personal files.

Cloud Computing App Changing its Name: SkyDrive's New Name Will be OneDrive

It is challenging to write an update to an informatics book that discusses the latest trends in technology.  For example, I found out today that SkyDrive's name is changing to OneDrive.  The change is the result of a trademark dispute with British Sky Broadcasting. You can read more about the dispute at http://www.pcworld.com/article/2045634/microsoft-to-rename-skydrive-after-losing-trademark-suit.html

This is at the same time that Georgia College is rolling out Office 365 and SkyDrive to faculty, staff, and students.  I worry that the name change will be confusing to some.
