#Microsoft onedrive for business support full#
If you’re wondering, Windows 10 won’t end its full support until October 2025. Still, for reasons of resource management, branding, and of course, money, Microsoft would really like those who are still on older versions of the operating system to get with the times. Windows 7 and 8.1 have been out of full support for a long while, but won’t stop getting security updates until January 2023. It should be noted that, since this is a rather arbitrary end of service, Microsoft might be giving an edge to Google’s Drive and Dropbox, among other cloud storage competitors. OneDrive also works as the storage back-end of the web version of Microsoft Office. First launched in August 2007, it enables registered users to share and synchronize their files. OneDrive apps for iOS and Android are unaffected. Microsoft OneDrive (formerly SkyDrive) is a file hosting service that Microsoft operates. OneDrive won’t become completely useless for those on older operating systems: The files themselves aren’t going anywhere, and the OneDrive system (and updated, synced contents) can still be accessed via Microsoft accounts on the web.
#Microsoft onedrive for business support upgrade#
Users who want to preserve the backup and sync functionality will need to upgrade to Windows 10 or 11. According to a post on its tech support forum, Microsoft will be ending support for the OneDrive desktop app on Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 starting on March 1, 2022.
Users of Microsoft’s first-party cloud storage are going to get a less-than-gentle nudge to upgrade to a newer operating system early next year.
