Microsoft is giving users improved control over file sharing on OneDrive’s mobile apps. The company introduced a new sharing experience for OneDrive users on the desktop last year, but it has finally started rolling out the advanced sharing controls today on mobile devices. Available right now on Android, the improved sharing settings allow users to share files with anyone, people in their organization, or specific people, and more. The update will be available on OneDrive’s iOS client shortly.
Along with the granular sharing settings on mobile, Microsoft is changing the way it distributes OneDrive on the Mac. OneDrive will now be packed with Office 2016 for Mac, and users who currently use the standalone OneDrive app from the Mac App Store will have their settings automatically transferred to the Office 2016 for Mac version. It isn’t clear whether Microsoft will continue to make the app available from the Mac App Store, however.
