In addition to the redesign, new features such as integration with Teams and Copilot access are arriving to the service
OneDrive is an integral part of Microsoft's strategy that wants to convince us to move everything to the cloud. The service has been with us for over 15 years — remember when it was called SkyDrive? — But for a few months, workers in Redmond have been preparing for a major revamp of service.
This renewal – Microsoft talks about the third generation of OneDrive – Announced in October 2023 And A new design emergedNew creative tools and of course Copilot integration.
However, what users will notice most is the change in design, which is quite radical and will start being available to all users at the end of February.
This change is in design, they explain At MicrosoftNow the interface is many More in line with the design and aesthetics of Windows 11. It also follows in the footsteps of the redesigns seen in the tools in the Office suite.
In this redesign we will find new elements such as A new view of our communications – We can find documents by selecting the people we share them with – as well as new file filters. With this option, we can, for example, sort files according to whether they are Word, Excel, PowerPoint or PDF documents.
We'll also have an Add New button that allows you to upload a new document and create it directly with Office, which improves on the previous behavior that split it into two different buttons.
These visual changes are in addition, shall we say, to a large number of internal innovations, including integration with Teams or The new co-pilot role in OneDrive. A chatbot will allow us to “talk” to our storage to find documents or offer choices about those we already have – such as summarizing them, for example – in our storage.
