Which settings excactly does OL365 "Store my Outlook settings in the cloud" sync?
Hey, have an update for you.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 63037.
When this will happen
- We will begin rolling this out to Microsoft 365 Monthly Channel, Targeted, in late May. (This is Insiders Slow Channel which will soon be called Microsoft Beta.)
- We expect to roll this out to the Monthly Channel, Production, in late June.
When this feature rolls out, the following list of settings will roam across other computers running Outlook for Windows that are logged in to the same Office account.
- Advanced
- Calendar
- Ease of Access
- General
- Groups
- People
- Search
- Tasks
If you do not override this ability, users can change their preferences via the “Store my Outlook settings in the cloud” checkbox under File > Options > General.
Users can disable this feature by unchecking the box, “Store my Outlook settings in the cloud.”
Ru Why do you think people want to opt into this? I would prefer not store stuff in the cloud and it become one more place for people to Hack ID information. I have a back up drive at home and when the systems is turned off and unplugged no one can hack it. Please stop defaulting people into things that you think are good ideas when others may not consider that an issue
- Couldn't have put this any better - too bad Microsoft didn't/doesn't/won't listen.
Anyone who thinks establishing, creating or promoting the "one-size fits all" methodology (I'm constantly reminded that I work for a company that has many, many "teams of one") has lost touch with reality. The script has flipped (and all it does is create further hatred for Microsoft).
I suppose we could all go out and join the many "insiders" clubs Microsoft offers, but WTH has time for that when you're a one-man IT department? Xactly.
