Microsoft is starting to roll out a new offline mode for OneDrive on the web for work and school users. It’s part of an ongoing overhaul to OneDrive that’s also seen the cloud storage service updated with an improved UI, folder colors, and much more. The new OneDrive offline mode will let users of the web side of the service open files that have been marked available as offline and navigate to favorite files and the home section of OneDrive without an internet connection.
“Offline mode uses your device’s local storage to store certain file information such as file name, size, author, last date accessed, etc,” explains Andrey Esipov, a principal product manager at Microsoft. “This is made possible through the OneDrive Sync app, which intelligently stores a cache of your files’ metadata locally.
