Microsoft OneDrive for Windows finally gets 64-bit version

Source: Engadget

While OneDrive on Windows has been around since 2007 and the first 64-bit version of Windows came out in the early aughts, now is just the first time the OneDrive app on Windows will get a 64-bit version. This version comes out in a new client preview. This means for those with 64-bit machines, you'll be able to quickly transfer large files since it can access more resources than the 32-bit option.

The preview is currently limited to the x64 installs of Windows. Those who have Windows 10 on ARM might have to wait a bit. In the meantime, use the 32-bit version of the app.

Microsoft introduces Fluent design to the iOS version of OneDrive

After extending its Fluent design to OneDrive web app, Microsoft is now bringing this design element to OneDrive’s iOS app. It now has a bold new header that has a splash of blue, aligning it with the Outlook mobile app. Font sizes and colors have been adjusted in the Files list to make it easier to read. Microsoft Search is now part of the app to help you find files faster. It’s now easier to edit PDFs with pens, highlighters, and the eraser at the bottom of the screen. You can create and customize Notes much easily. The command sheet, which you can access from the “…” icon has a softer look and a draggable surface. The Recent Files section also makes its way to both iOS and Android apps. Android is expected to get these features in the coming months.
