Microsoft updates OneDrive with a completely new user interface

At the Ignite 2017 conference on Tuesday, Microsoft announced an OneDrive update with a new user interface and advanced sharing options. The most notable improvements are the web interface and the Files On-Demand feature. New sharing features will be applied to Windows, Mac and Web operating systems for a more consistent experience. This feature will support external sharing without the need for a Microsoft account. The new sharing framework allows users to share selected documents with specific people or people in an organization.
