Sync Up – a OneDrive podcast : Episode 17, “Consolidating OneDrive and SharePoint admin centers"

In this year's first episode, cohosts Ankita Kirti and Jason Moore talk with Dave Minasyan, Principal Program Manager, to discuss the increased need for collaboration, which has been driving Microsoft to invest heavily into interconnectivity of tools across the Microsoft 365 suite, and how his team's focus is to evolve the admin experiences to gradually address the increasing management complexity that comes with this interconnectivity ecosystem we are building. He shares some of the changes admins can expect with new rollouts in the OneDrive and SPO admin centers in 2021. To learn more about these updates check out our recent blog.

Also in this episode, new OneDrive feature releases, the team's 2021 resolutions, and the importance of focusing on wellbeing both at home and at work.
