Using Files with Copilot
I am relatively new to the Microsoft 365 license for Copilot but I have quite a bit of training on ChatGPT 4, which, I believe, is the engine behind Copilot. When I tried to upload a file by clicking...
Bill you are not missing anything. Marketing team is several months ahead of tech teams. They make it seem like Copilot accesses all of your sharepoint files, but it doesn't (at least not for me). I have to go through hoops to open and close files to make them up in the limited menu, often it is only 3 files listed. This is frankly bizarre that someone thought this was a feature that could be released.
- Agree. I fully understand what a Preview means, but it is really incumbent on Microsoft to fully detail the roadmap and to explain what is implemented right now, how it works (or doesn't work) and what we can expect when the initial gold release is made. And Rob this applies to the entire spectrum of files we would want to access in our CoPilots: local attached storage, OneDrive files as well as ShareFile. Microsoft needs to step up and explain this ASAP.
- Rob, I think I have managed a limited workaround along the lines you are suggesting. I will open the file, save it to another location, maybe rename it, and then click the paper clip again, and it may appear.
- Yes, I do something like that too. Asinine! The Copilot Studio is really just an evolution of the Virtual Agent, which may be a fine bot building program, but for someone trying to build a company specific AI tool, it is massively over complicated. I am still not clear if it is accessing my Sharepoint or not -- I added it as a source. ChatGPT is light years easier to understand and implement. Oh my.
