Highlights

On the new File Explorer homepage, you can pin important files for quick and easy access. Using the power of Microsoft OneDrive, you can view your colleagues’ actions on your shared files. We also provide personalized suggestions based on your Microsoft 365 account.
• New! We add a feature called Suggested Actions for items that you copy. This is available for customers in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
