Windows 10: Microsoft expanding the Fluent design to OneDrive for Android

Brink · Feb 25, 2020

In this day and age, work doesnât always take place in an office space. Information workers are expected to stay connected to their files on the go, whether they are traveling to a clientâs location, meeting a customer at a cafÃ© or working remotely.

Alongside Office Mobile apps and Microsoft Teams, our 4.6+ rated OneDrive mobile apps on iOS and Android empower you to stay connected to all files throughout Microsoft 365 as well as capture and collaborate from anywhere and on any device. You can create and edit documents, scan receipts and business cards, markup and annotate PDFs, co-author Office documents and share content with your peers across departments and with external clients and vendors outside your organization â directly from your Android and iOS devices.

It has been little over a year since we rolled Office Fluent Design to OneDrive for the web. This change aligned OneDrive with the entire Office 365 suite on a common color palette, typography, icon systems and header. As we continued to roll out the Fluent Design system and the revamped Office brand icons, we also updated the file folder representation, unveiling golden folders across web and mobile. A few months ago, we rolled out a similar design refresh to the OneDrive for iOS.

Today, we are carrying forward this design overhaul to OneDrive for Android and weâre excited to share the refreshed look and feel.

OneDrive for Android design refresh

Intricacy and finesse are the core designing principles of Microsoft OneDrive complementing our ability to craft simple and powerful experiences. With a focus on familiarity and ease-of-use, OneDriveâs fluent design delivers subtle and coherent enhancements to render a superior experience for you that aligns to the rest of the Office suite.

The files list and grid views have seen unique polishes. With sleek updates to the iconography, we have added borders highlighting the icons augmenting depth to focus on what matters. We have also revised the font size and spacing, to provide an increased legibility, accessibility and the ease of swiftly discovering what you are looking for.

Also, for a better photo taking experience the scan button has now been updated from a lens logo to a camera icon, bringing you a collective modern experience.

Dark mode for Android

Yes, Android users- Welcome to the dark side!

You asked, we listened!

Dark Mode on OneDrive for Android was the highest rated feature and top request on UserVoice.

We are delighted to announce today, the global rollout of Dark Mode on OneDrive for Android across business and personal accounts.

Apart from the aesthetic appeal, widely known perks of Dark Mode are that it reduces eye strain and improves battery life of the device aiding you with uninterrupted productivity while on the go.

Themes like Dark Mode exemplify our commitment to inclusive design principles and the dedication to adapt to the diverse needs of millions of our users by giving them choice and flexibility.

Revamped search experience

OneDrive enables you to connect to all your files â be it your individual work files or team files in your shared libraries. Like the web search experience, Microsoft Search in the OneDrive mobile app, uses powerful intelligence to help you promptly find files that matter the most to you.

We have improved the usability of the search option in OneDrive for Android. With a simple toggle, you can now natively discover your files across OneDrive and your shared libraries in SharePoint. This makes the search experience simple and convenient facilitating access to ALL your files (individual and team) from a single interface.

Search across all your files with a simple toggle between your individual and team files.

PDFs and scans included in âRecent Viewâ

OneDrive makes it easy to get to your recent files easily across web, mobile, and Office. Now, weâre bringing the common âRecent filesâ experience to OneDrive on Android, aligning with the Web and iOS experiences.

Now, in your âRecent listâ, uploaded scans and recently viewed PDFs will automatically surface at the top.

Updated experience for PDF annotation

Accomplishing tasks on your phone is easy and fast with OneDrive including annotating a PDF file to highlight items or add notes. The updated PDF editing experience for OneDrive on Android is designed around quick actions that lead to a truly mobile first markup experience.

Pens, highlighters, and the eraser can now be found at the bottom of the screen, making markup more intuitive and touch friendly. Notes are now more lightweight and reactive, making them easier to create and view. Weâve also made it simpler to customize and select note color by bringing the color picker into the note surface.

Weâve also made visual improvements to the signature feature by increasing the signing surface area, smoothing out the pen handwriting, and made it more intuitive to store signatures for future use.

Easy to create, view and edit Notes.
