“OneDrive turns 15!” 🎙 – The Intrazone podcast

Microsoft

Aug 09, 2022

It's OneDrive's 15th birthday, and all the presents are for you. Get your party hats, it’s time to sing “Happy Birthday” to OneDrive; one more year until it can get its OneDrive’r’s license.

On this episode, Ankita Kirti and I chat with Arwa Tyebkhan (Principal GPM | OneDrive) and Steven Bailey (CVP OneDrive and SharePoint engineering) to celebrate both OneDrive’s 15^th lap around the sun AND to hear more about the new OneDrive Home experience.

We first go into the way-back machine to learn about the evolution from Windows Live Mesh, Grove.exe and SharePoint Workspaces, and land on OneDrive as we know it today. We also discover that it’s not only OneDrive’s birthday… the team has been hard at work redesigning the OneDrive Home experience to help you easily resume your work and catch up on what you missed while you were away – everything at-a-glance and easy to prioritize where to start working.

Happy Birthday OneDrive

“Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday, dear OneDrive…
Happy birthday to you.

You live in a cloud-zoo

You look like a SharePoint monkey

And you sync like one too.”
