<div>
you could backup your data first to be sure<br />
then delete / uninstall skydrive<br />
then install oneDrive
</div>


<div>
You dont really need either on your desktop <br />
They are only there to sync files from the desktop app to the web based.<br />
&nbsp;I prefer to just open the Onedrive on the web and upload files straight to it.<br />
Prevents any problems with the syncing of files.<br />
When MS changed Hotmail etc it created Outlook.com and that includes all of them<br />

Merete's right, this is just cosmetic. &nbsp;However you should really have been pushed the update to rename everything by now. &nbsp;Which version of Windows is the desktop running? &nbsp;Do you have automatic updates enabled?<br />

I'm running Win 10 on both machines, and auto update is set; actually I believe it can be turned off.<br />
<br />
I'm confused about the sign-in option because I see OneDrive and SkyDrive and I have to be signed in in order to access them.<br />
<br />
I will check out the link you included and see if that provides the solution.<br />
<br />
Merete; good suggestion, hadn't thought of that, but I would like to have the folder option on my computer as well.

<div>
nobus &quot;delete / uninstall skydrive then install oneDrive&quot;. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Sounds like a good plan, I googled how but got too many hits. What's the easiest way to go about removing skydrive and installing Onedrive?

Thanks, the links were really helpful!

The Onedrive folders on my laptop completely different from the Skydrive on my desktop! &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I remember that the original name of the cloud drive was Skydrive and somewhere along the way it got changed to Onedrive, but my Skydrive remained on my desktop while I have Onedrive on my laptop.<br />
<br />
Currently, on my laptop, the &quot;Camera Roll&quot; folder gets images from my phone, but since there is no Onedrive on my desktop &quot;Camera Roll is not there!<br />
<br />
I tried running : &quot;%localappdata%\Microsoft\<wbr />OneDrive\o<wbr />nedrive.ex<wbr />e /reset&quot; but of course, since the Onedrive cloud drive on my desktop is actually Skydrive, that didn't work.<br />
<br />
How do I get Onedrive on my desktop and save the files that are currently on Skydrive so I can unload it forever?

Cloud services are services made available to users via the Internet from a provider's servers. Cloud services are designed to provide easy, scalable access to applications, resources and services, and are fully managed by a cloud services provider. It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. Frequently offered cloud services are infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), desktops-as-a-service (DaaS), software-as-a-service (SaaS) and platform-as-a-service (PaaS). Examples of cloud services include online data storage and backup solutions, Web-based e-mail services, hosted office suites and document collaboration services, database processing, managed technical support services and more.

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
