• Add to OneDrive: A much-awaited feature that’s rolling out in public preview with the option to opt-out. Now, when someone shares a folder with you in OneDrive, Microsoft SharePoint, or Microsoft Teams, you can easily add a shortcut to that shared folder, either from Shared with me or your shared libraries, in your OneDrive to easily find it later. Added folders retain all the power of OneDrive, which means you can sync and access these folders from anywhere on any device; share and co-author files in added folder; and, stay up-to-date with @mentions, activity, and notifications. Added folders respect all existing policies, compliance, and security settings, too.

• Sharing integration with Teams: Microsoft. in an effort to provide a consistent sharing experience across Microsoft 365 whether through Office apps, Outlook, OneDrive, or SharePoint, the sharing experience will be similar. Now, users will be able to set familiar sharing and access controls directly in Teams with the added option to share a link with a specific private or group chat. This means only people in that chat have access to the shared content. Shared links intelligently reconcile to file name and all sharing follows the admin settings and configured policies. This feature will be rolling out soon.

• Move and keep sharing: Now, when you transfer an individual file to a shared library, the sharing permissions remain intact. This feature is rolling out now.

• Expiring access for external users: To protect shared files, administrators can set a mandatory expiration period to ensure access doesn’t last forever and help avoid leaking organization data by accident. This policy can be enabled in the SharePoint admin center (both modern and classic) and applies to both OneDrive and SharePoint. Once the policy is implemented, external users will automatically lose access to content on the site-by-site level (or OneDrive-by-OneDrive level). SharePoint site administrators and OneDrive owners will have the authority to extend or remove access for the selected users. This feature is rolling out now.

• Tasks in Microsoft Office: Tasks can originate from anywhere at any time. Now, you can assign tasks using comment @mentions directly in Word and Excel, with PowerPoint coming soon. You can add a due date to @mention task assignments and track changes through inline comment history. These task assignments also trigger email notifications with a link to the comment in the document.
