Mac Files On-Demand

Begins rolling out to customers now

 

Releasing to Office Insiders today, Files On-Demand for Mac makes it easy to have access to all your files, but only have files you need to be stored locally on the device which reduces the amount of storage space consumed. You don‘t have to change the way you work, because all your files can be seen in Finder and work just like every other file on your device. Files On-Demand is available to consumer and commercial OneDrive customers, and works across all your personal, work, and shared files in Office 365. Visit our support page to learn how to enable this. Files On-Demand for Mac will be publicly available in the coming months.

Dark Mode support for Mac

Begins rolling out to customers now

 

Dark Mode is a dramatic new look that helps you focus on your work in MacOS Mojave. Dark Mode works with built-in apps that come with the Mac and is now fully supported in OneDrive for Mac. When Dark Mode is enabled, OneDrive will switch to a new gorgeous dark theme across all of the UI (such as Finder Overlays, and the OneDrive Activity Center,) to ensure a cohesive experience.

Files On-Demand and Storage Sense Integration

Begins rolling out to customers now

 

With Windows 10 October 2018 update Windows Storage Sense now has the capability to automatically free up disk space by making older, unused, locally available OneDrive files be available online-only. Your files will still be safe in OneDrive and represented as placeholders on your device. Your online-only files will still be visible on your device. When connected to the internet, you’ll be able to use online-only files just like any other file. You can learn more about this new functionality here.

Link Open Receipts

Begins rolling out to customers this month

 

When you share a file in the OneDrive web experience using the “Quick Send” capability, you will have peace of mind knowing when someone engages with your file for the first time. OneDrive will send you a Link Open receipt to notify you that your link was clicked on. Link Open receipts will begin rolling out in early October.
