- Microsoft apparently has a new OneDrive application in process
- The software leaked and comes with an elegant modern design
- However, it is demonstrating to be divisive in terms of what the point of application could be – But maybe we are not seeing the complete image yet
Microsoft is apparently working in a new OneDrive application for Windows 11 with a clean and modern interface.
Windows Central informs that he has seen this creation, which leaked from the Microsoft servers themselves. It seems to be a dedicated application for OneDrive, the Microsoft cloud storage service, but it is a web -based software piece instead of a native coded for Windows 11. As always, we advise the caution around the leaks, but it certainly sounds intriguing.
Windows Central assures us that, despite being a web application. This new version of OneDrive is not a slow software (unlike the new Outlook application, which is also a web application, but suffers in the performance front).
The new OneDrive application begins by presenting its photo library, although it has a switch to return to its file management panel, where you can see everything (images, documents, all its files in the cloud).
In the photo panel, you can easily access your ‘moments’ – photos of the last years taken on the current date – as well as photo albums and a gallery view.
Windows Central observes that the gallery view is “new, and is currently not available on the normal OneDrive website”, but there is a gallery view with the OneDrive site. I guess our brother site means that it is ‘new’ as in ‘Tweaked’, and the main difference seems to be a new floating menu bar that appears when it selects a photo, although that entails the same options as the upper menu bar that is called on the current OneDrive site.
In any case, the new gallery view looks more skilled, as is the entire interface here, which is all very pleasant, brilliant and modern. (Again, remember that we must take all this information with an appropriate seasoning dose).
Analysis: What does Microsoft lead here?
So, yes, this is a pleasant version of OneDrive in an ordered application package for Windows 11, and the fact that they tell us that it runs without problems and in a performing manner sounds good. It is good to have the functionality of ‘moments’ (historical photos) easily accessible as well. It is part of the phone application, and I receive notifications on my PC with Windows 10 at times that are linked to the OneDrive website, but they are strangely sporadic.
In general, however, there is not much here, which is as different from the OneDrive website, not as far as this filtration shows, anyway. Of course, the filtered software can somehow be an earlier version of the application, or there could be more to reveal, and more information could come soon.
Why do I say that? Because, interestingly, Microsoft has its ‘Annual OneDrive’ digital event on October 8, so it could be an adequate time for an inauguration. Interestingly, the propaganda of that event mentions quite “the latest advances of OneDrive in the” enough, so perhaps this application will also have some infused there, that would hardly be a surprise.
However, this supposed new OneDrive application is a bit of head of some way, since it can already access the Microsoft cloud storage locker directly through the Windows 11 (file explorer) folders (file explorer), or the photos application for that case. Ok, then those methods are not so tidy and ordered, but still, because of this, there are people who react to this leak with confusion. They are questioning why Microsoft would even bother this new application, since, as noted, it does not seem to be very different.
Maybe Microsoft explains the next week, and we will only have to wait for the official revelation and the details of what the OneDrive application can really do.
Meanwhile, there are already groans of several Windows 11 users on social networks and the usual forums on how this will be another unwanted predetermined application in the operating system they have to strip. That talk is combined with the screams of the cynical that this is just another way for Microsoft to try to press OneDrive (and subscriptions in it, something that the company has been interested in the past, must be taken into account).
