Windows 10: New cloud storage integration for Office

Brink · Feb 16, 2015

We want Office to be the preferred way to work with documents no matter where they’re stored. In November we announced a special partnership with Dropbox to make it easy to access, edit and share Dropbox files from the Office apps. And today, in addition to the existing Dropbox integrations, we’re pleased to announce two new integration features for an even broader set of cloud services: First, file picker integration for the iPad and iPhone; and second, Office Online integration for viewing and editing. While these may seem like small enhancements, these new features represent a big step forward for Office integration into the apps and services that are important to our customers.

Native cloud storage integration in the iOS apps

Starting today, third-party cloud storage providers can natively integrate into the “Locations” picker in the iOS Office apps. This will enable users to open, edit and save documents from these providers right from within Office. While we’re announcing availability of the iPad and iPhone integration today, we’re hard at work on the same type of integration for the Office universal apps for Windows 10 and the Office for Android apps. So in the future, no matter what device, platform, or storage provider you’re using, your Office documents will only be a tap away.

New Office Online integration

We’re also making it possible for cloud services to integrate Office Online into their applications—enabling users to open, view, and edit documents stored in those services in any web browser. We’re excited to announce that Box, Citrix, and Salesforce are already working with us on this as a part of our new Cloud Storage Partner Program, and we’re looking forward to working with other service providers in the future. Interested partners can learn more and apply here.

Today’s announcements are just one more step on our continuing journey to open up Office in new ways for our customers and partners. Living in a cloud-first, mobile-first world is all about having the flexibility to get things done from anywhere and on any device. And these exciting, new features will make it easier than ever to use Office with virtually any combination of apps, platforms and cloud storage services.

How to delete backup files from File History in Windows 10

But the big news is: Microsoft is going to going to put en end to this File History mechanism in the next Update of Windows 10. They will provide some new mechanism for keeping several versions of the files, as long as they are stored in the OneDrive cloud.
They want to force everybody to resort to OneDrive, preferably paying annually for an Office 365 subscription, which includes 1 TB of cloud storage.
