Event details
hello! here are our two questions:
1. We had Copilot in OneDrive for a while in July, then it disappeared and did not come back. When can we expect it to return? (Note: everyone in our organization has an M365 Copilot license)
2. Can you provide any insight on governance / best practices for Copilot in OneDrive functionality, "Create a folder from search results, make that folder shareable"? We are concerned about how easily someone might overshare files using this awesome functionality, and how best to prevent unintentional oversharing.

1. Copilot in OneDrive is rolling out now - it should be live in all environments sometime this month or next. I am sorry to be vague - as we roll out new capabilities like this, we go slowly to ensure the health and stability of the service is maintained. 2. Guidance on sharing does not change with these new capabilities. Copilot will never share files on your behalf. Copilot just helps you work smarter and faster with the files you already have access to. I'd love to hear more about your concerns.- StephenRiceHi Jade, oversharing is absolutely top of mind for us (in general, and for Copilot). Copilot can only find files that users already have access to (e.g. just creating a "people in my company" link doesn't expose it to people in Copilot unless they possess the link). Are there particular concerns beyond that that I can help with?
- Hi, Stephen - thanks for your response. We are concerned about the scenario when: - Jose conducts a search in OneDrive - Jose selects a group of files in the search results in OneDrive - Jose shares that set of search results with three people - 1+ of those people, by the action of receiving the search results share, is now granted access to files that would not previously have had access to - Any of those 1+ people can at any time further reshare those files to which they now have access
- StephenRiceThanks for expanding here Jade! Copilot will respect all policies that you've set, including the "Members Can Share" setting which can be used to prevent re-sharing. There's more that we're looking at here too but we're not quite ready to share just yet!
