Microsoft has just released a new Office app for collaboration called OneDrive. This app is designed to make it easier for people to store and share files with one another. OneDrive is available now on the App Store and Google Play. OneDrive is a great way to keep your files organized and accessible. It also makes it easy for you to collaborate on projects with other people. You can easily store files in OneDrive, access them when you need them, and share them with others.
Loop is essentially a rebranding of Microsoft’s Fluid work, which the company has been working on for a long time. It comes with three parts: Loop components, Loop pages, and Loop workspaces. Microsoft describes it as “a new app that combines a powerful and flexible canvas with portable components that move freely and stay in sync across applications.”
Loop is very similar to the popular collaboration app Notion in that both offer a blank canvas where multiple people can come together to get stuff done. Of course, Loop has the benefit of being offered by Microsoft and the fact that it stays in sync with other Microsoft 365 apps. That means you’ll be able to switch between working in Loop and in your individual versions of Word, Excel, and other apps.
You and your team can use Loop to pull in links, files, or data along with whatever you’re working on. Much like Notion, a team can create small projects and manage them within Loop, or they can create massive ones with all sorts of files, pages, spreadsheets, presentations, etc.
Microsoft also touted a new feature called Context IQ, which will be implemented in all Microsoft 365 apps, including Loop. Basically, it’s an AI that uses Microsoft Graph to help you get more work done. It will help with scheduling meetings when everyone is available, entering known data, and so forth.
Some key features are missing from Loop, though. Microsoft said that it intends to add tables, status trackers, notes, and task lists to the app, but for the time being, users will have to do without.
