As part of creating a coherent experience for your items across the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, we’re proud to showcase a new update from Microsoft Teams.  

 

 

 

By now, you may have seen or used our new OneDrive experience on the web.  And if so, you know how it makes finding and organizing what’s important to you, incredibly easy – no matter where your content is stored or how it’s shared with you.   

 

Now Microsoft Teams is giving you access to our new OneDrive experience, with all the new enhancements, directly from Teams. The new OneDrive app for Teams is now rolling out to customers worldwide and will replace the generic Files app in Teams.  

 

Just like with OneDrive Web, on Teams you can now access all your Microsoft 365 files, including Loops, dashboards, and design boards. Plus, the experience makes it easy to find and access your content with new organization tools and views.  That means you’ll now have a consistent and familiar file management experience across both Teams and OneDrive Web.

    I must admin the experience is really slick and fast... Much more like using a native OneDrive experience than before. I'd love more reminders in Teams to try it though as many people I work with didn't realise it was there.

    Why is this named OneDrive if it does not at all reflect the files that actually are in my OnDrive if I look at it with Windows Explorer?
    This view makes it look as if I shared all the files I see there under my files, which I hate.
    Microsoft has been making a big mess of file management for years now, folder view settings are hardly ever retained, Windows is opening shared Teams files in editing mode by default without giving the user the possibility to change this for him/herself.  
    Yes it's nice to be able to cooperate on files, yes autosave can be very usefull, no I don't want those things to be turned by default without asking me.
    And hell no I don't want to copy every file I create to your bloody cloud, it's flat disgusting the way you disregard the human right to privacy with your crap.
    And that's without even mentioning your utterly disgusting Viva IOnsights, my own personal AI spy, telling me it will help withouty asking and without giving me the option to remove that crap.

     I despise microsoft more every single day I use their software.
