‘OneDrive 3.0’ shows off sharing, Office, AI roadmaps

From PC World: OneDrive is investing in improved sharing and organizational features for business users, but consumers are being left behind: Microsoft will add media-centric search and AI capabilities, but that won’t occur until next year. That will include the ability to search photos through facial recognition, a feature Google debuted about seven years ago.

Microsoft executives referred to the updates as “OneDrive 3.0,” a salt shaker of granular features being added to Microsoft’s cloud storage. For now, the biggest changes are in organization: You’ll be able to search for OneDrive files in a people view, as Microsoft has tipped before. OneDrive is also using some of the recent Windows 11 22H2/23H2 updates to File Explorer as a model to place recommended files in a carousel view at the top of the OneDrive page.

Basically, OneDrive is adding a number of views, so files can be organized by who shared them, if they’re relevant to upcoming meetings, and so on. Those changes are available for business users, so if you log in to OneDrive.com with your business credentials you should see the new changes today.
