SkyDrive to OneDrive on WP8- How?

[Eric J F]

Does anyone know how the branding change will happen on WP8? Beyond just renaming the app, how will things like Office, Settings, Photos, etc get updated? I'm wondering if MS will push out a separate update or if they'll just wait for 8.1.

Doubt it. After all, WP7 still acknowledges Zune, I seriously doubt they'd push out a special update just to make WP8 reflect the new brand. Especially so considering ALL WP8 devices are promised WP8.1.

go into the store on your phone, do a search for the skydrive app and then it should ask you to install the update.

Voila, you now have onedrive on your phone!

Do know the update unpinned Sky/OneDrive from my start screen.

I was referring to all the 'SkyDrive' references such as in the Office hub and various Settings options. Then of course there are all those 'SkyDrive' references in apps, too!

I wouldn't expect it to change without a firmware update, considering 8.1 is (relatively) close, we probably won't see rebranding in the core system for a little bit.
