Sync Up by Microsoft 365

What's new in OneDrive photos

Join Stephen Rice and Arvind Mishra for a fun look at what's new with photos in OneDrive! In this episode of Sync Up, they chat with Kalpana Berman, Niket Jain, and Shailesh Karri about how OneDrive is helping people find, enjoy, clean up, and get creative with their favorite memories. From smarter Moments and easier photo cleanup, to a new desktop photos app and AI-powered Restyle features, this episode is all about making your photos feel easier to manage and more fun to rediscover. You'll also hear how OneDrive is using AI behind the scenes to make photo search, editing, and storytelling feel more natural while keeping you in control of your originals.

File archive in OneDrive

Stephen and Arvind welcome back Trent Green for a deep dive into one of the most requested follow-ups to site archive: file-level archive. Trent explains how this new capability gives IT admins a more precise way to manage storage—archiving individual files or folders within active sites instead of entire sites. The team walks through how it works, what the end-user experience looks like, and how archived files can be reactivated (including a built-in seven-day undo window). They also cover public preview timing, consumption-based billing, and what's coming next—like admin-driven policies based on last access dates. If you're looking for smarter ways to manage aging content without disrupting collaboration, this episode breaks it down clearly and practically!

Copilot + OneDrive event recap & transfer ownership

Fresh off the biggest OneDrive moment of the year, Stephen and Arvind return with a full recap of the Copilot + OneDrive event—breaking down the announcements, the behind-the-scenes surprises, and the features that are already reshaping how we work. From personalized intelligence with the FAB button to the future of search, photos, and Researcher, the team walks through the four major themes of the show and shares what it was like to step on camera as part of the launch. They even react to the unexpected blooper reel that made its way into the final cut! This episode also features a special guest: Belle Podeanu, product manager behind the brand-new Transfer Ownership experience. Belle walks through how the team redesigned this critical workflow end-to-end—from modernized emails to shared-file filtering to smarter move-and-keep-sharing options—all built to reduce data loss and simplify transitions when employees leave.
