Microsoft OneDrive iconography will shortly be refreshed, if this trademark filing is any indication. Alternatively, Ed Bott wonders if this logo might represent a subset of OneDrive functionality – perhaps hybrid clouds, for example. Building upon the existing OneDrive logo, the three-bump background cloud is replaced by a stylized two-bump cloud profile network cable moving from background to foreground, better visualizing a virtual storage service. This follows (forced) re-branding from “SkyDrive” along with a massive storage increase for Office 365 subscribers and updated mobile apps as they attempt to expand their footprint and woo folks, such as myself, away from Dropbox and Google Drive.

Beware! Unlike you, I immediately recognized the new logo as suggestive of potato salad, not a "cloud". (Why would a "cloud" be relevant, anyway? You can't eat a "cloud".) So I immediately tried to upload a batch of potato salad to OneDrive in order to have it accessible on mobile devices. But again, beware! The bugs are not even close to being worked out. All the procedure did was clog up and destroy my router.
So I think I'll stop potato salad commenting. It's now obvious to me that the fabled "internet of things" is just meaningless hype, not reality.
How do you get 1TB of storage? I use Office 365 but I only have around 50GB of storage. Unless something has changed recently. But I also use Amazon cloud sotrage and Google cloud storage since all three automatcially back up my files and pitures from my cell phone and tablet.
