Microsoft increases file size limit for OneDrive to 100GB

Microsoft has announced some new features for OneDrive. For example, the company has increased the maximum file size to 100GB. The web version of OneDrive will also get a dark mode, and file sharing will be easier.

Microsoft will announce the new features in a blog post. The tech company writes that the maximum file size in OneDrive will be increased to 100GB. Previously this was 15GB. This should make it easier to share media files or CAD designs, for example, Microsoft writes.

It will also be easier to share OneDrive files via Microsoft Teams, the tech company writes. When users do this, they can create a shareable link to the file, which also allows users to restrict who can access that file.

Sync reports for admins and shareable OneDrive links in Teams

Microsoft is also introducing new OneDrive features for system administrators. This way admins can get sync reports. This includes, for example, the sync status of individual devices within an organization. System administrators can also “soon” automatically disable remote access to an organization’s OneDrive. Also, system administrators will soon be able to implement a two-factor authentication policy within their organizations.

In the web version of OneDrive, users will be able to create “groups” of people later this month, with whom they can then easily share files. For example, users can create a group of family members and then exchange photos.

Furthermore, Microsoft will soon add a dark mode to the web version of OneDrive. The features will be added to OneDrive in the coming weeks. Some features, including the increased file size limit, have already been rolled out.
