OneDrive for Business gets Copilot smarts and a new look

30th May 2024

Microsoft is updating OneDrive for Business with a refreshed user interface, Copilot AI support, and slurry of new admin tools to enhance file access and security coming later this year.

Some of the key updates include, a redesigned OneDrive home experience, new views for meetings and shared files, and improved file-sharing options. Users will be able to open files in Office desktop apps, use an updated OneDrive Files app in Teams, and access a OneDrive app in Outlook too – for Windows and Web.

Copilot AI will also integrate heavily with OneDrive, helping users manage and organize files through natural language commands. However, Microsoft have noted that the full functionality of this integration will develop over time and of course, a 365 Copilot license will be required to utilise the new AI capabilities.
