Even with this week's release, it remains a key block.įirst, the good news: If you have Windows 8, 9, or 10, or OS X 10.9 Mavericks or later, you can run the native OneDrive app to create a virtual drive on your computer for accessing files directly from your apps. OneDrive is a key block for cross-platform companies using Office 365 beyond the Office 2016 apps. OneDrive for Business still can't meet the promises Microsoft has made for Office 365's corporate collaboration. It can now do the very basics that the personal OneDrive app has done for some time - but no more. This week, Microsoft began releasing its 'next generation' (ha!) OneDrive client app for OS X and Windows with support for Office 365 business cloud storage. However, Microsoft's OneDrive for Office 365 (née OneDrive for Business) never seems to come out of the oven, though it's been cooking for years. Dropbox and Box have each had one for years, and even Apple's iCloud Drive has become a reasonable service for one-person clouds in a couple years. You have to wonder how hard it can be to develop a cloud storage app that works.
