Event details
Join us for a special Ask Microsoft Anything (AMA) live video stream across four Microsoft content collaboration products: SharePoint, OneDrive, Lists, and Stream! Our product teams will be answering your questions about future roadmap and recent innovation – and offering insights on what to expect in the coming months.
Each team will present five minutes of content to catch you up on the highlights, and to spark what questions you might ask, and then have 10-15 minutes to take your questions. Post your questions at any time – starting your question with the product name to help us navigate it to the right experts; example: “SharePoint: How will Copilot help me create pages and news in the future?”
This is a great opportunity to get answers to any questions you may have from recent Microsoft 365 Conference (May 2-4, 2023) disclosures: Review Jeff Teper’s May 2nd (5/2) blog post.

- Craig2450Copper ContributorOne Drive when you say native app - what about the autocad files, will it open in the autocad application, and will there be a problem with the synchronisation when the autocad file is big
- Carter_MSFT
Microsoft
Cad files are a perfect example of a file that WILL work. With the "Open in App" command you will be able to open ANY file type within a Windows Desktop app, as long as you have an app that can open that type of file.
- CatherineBrass ContributorAccessibility - Forcing a person who needs an accessible version of a PDF to go through multiple steps to open their document in Adobe instead of using a viewer is not productive and can be very frustrating to the customer. I heard the explanation of how to do it but that is not nice. It would benefit all to be able to open a PDF in its native format right away.
- ScottTNETCopper Contributor
Will you be enabling an option to save documents directly to OneDrive / Sharepoint from non-Microsoft software without having to sync the libraries to the PC? One of the main reasons we have to sync libraries is because a number of applications (including Outlook) won't let us dig into specific Sharepoint document libraries unless it's synced.
- Carter_MSFT
Microsoft
Currently there is nothing on the roadmap to open the OneDrive folder to Desktop apps without the Sync client running. I will say that with the new Add to OneDrive capability, as long as you add those SharePoint document libraries as Shortcut Folders to your OneDrive folder, then you wont need to separately sync those document libraries.
- gbickertBrass Contributor[OneDrive] Are there plans to improve speed of Sync to download local copies of files just saved by the local user using the local App (for example a Word Doc saved as PDF). For example, user saves a copy of a document (defaulted to SharePoint online), and it may take several minutes to appear locally so that the user can attach to an email, open PDF in third-party app, or otherwsie work with the file locally.
- Eric_WellerBrass ContributorWhen we say "native app" - what about those who use Bluebeam/other PDF editors? Adobe - believe there's additional "Adobe Cloud" account/cost/etc required for Adobe integration?
- Carter_MSFT
Microsoft
bluebeam and other PDF editors would totally work. In fact any filetype will work, all filetypes will be supported and there is no Adobe requirement here for this to work.
- AlishaVeeramahCopper ContributorOneDrive: Will the open in app for PDF also be available for SharePoint Online/Teams ?
- Carter_MSFT
Microsoft
Yes. Because OneDrive is the files experience for M365, including SharePoint Online and Teams, both of those endpoints will get this capability
- Joanna696Brass ContributorSorry SharePoint question if you can still answer it, when creating a site, it gives members of the site immediate Edit access to the site and this cannot be changed. Is there plans to change this so Members cannot immediately Edit the site?
- KasperLarsenIron ContributorChange the permissions to Contribute rather than Edit ?
- Joanna696Brass ContributorWhen making a team site you cannot change the permissions of the intitial Owner, Edit and visitors groups. The only way to change so members cannot Edit is to move them to the Visitors group. However as the rights are inherited, it means all Document Libraries you have to break inheritance and have individual permissions to ensure users can add and edit items in that DL
- Roger BieferOccasional ReaderWhen do you make the sharing experience simple and intuitive for the users. Not just cosmetics and small changes.
