US tech giant Microsoft will mark OneDrive’s 15th anniversary with a new landing page, called OneDrive Home.
According to The Verge, instead of landing on the My Files tab when a user first opens OneDrive, they end up on the new home page that looks like this dashboard in the online version of Office.
Similar to the Office web app, OneDrive Home contains a list of user files, organized by when they recently accessed them. Above the list are filters that allow users to sort their documents by Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF file types.
According to The Verge, there’s also a new “Activity” column to the right of the “Owner” file field that tells a user when someone leaves a comment, @mentions another user, or assigns them a task in a shared document. .
On the left side of the home view, Microsoft is adding a new quick access section, where users can find and pin their most frequently visited spaces.
Unfortunately, these changes are not in effect at this time. According to The Verge, Microsoft said OneDrive Home will be available in “the coming months.”
From what it looks like, however, the new homepage might serve as a central hub that should help users stay organized while collaborating remotely, the outlet reported.
