Microsoft to shutter OneDrive Groups by October 16th

 

It's time to start looking into other collaboration tools if you've been using OneDrive Groups. Microsoft plans to close this feature on October 16th. So all the files shared with you won't be available to you past that date if you don't save it to your personal OneDrive account.
