OneDrive for Business gets easier to use in new menus, revised search

Add as a preferred source on Google

Earlier today, Microsoft’s OneDrive for Business team announced the arrival of a new update to its web interface, one that will give users more options to interact with their product through the browser of their choice.

The changes are subtle, but a nice upgrade for those who depend on the platform for their cloud storage needs. Before the update, whenever you clicked inside the window containing the files in your drive you would only be greeted with the menu for that specific browser. Now, you’ll be able to edit, move, copy, rename, or delete any folders you’d like on the fly, without having to use a separate button press for the system to recognize the command.

OneDrive users will also find a refreshed search tool that brings up results in real-time, including files and folders that others in your network have shared with you.

The move achieves something reminiscent of what users have already come to expect from web-based cloud storage services such as Dropbox, which for years has utilized its own special menu that would appear whenever a user right clicks inside their file system.

Microsoft says we can expect the full range of these features to begin rolling out to users in a few days, and finish by the end of the month.

Every app on my phone has decided I need AI, and none of them bothered to ask
AI assistants are invading everything from photo libraries to messaging apps, and dismissing them only seems to guarantee they’ll return later.

My wife doesn’t use AI very much. She isn’t philosophically opposed to it, nor is she waiting for the machines to overthrow civilization. She simply opens Google Photos because she wants to look at her photos.

Lately, however, the app keeps greeting her with invitations to try its AI tools. Google would very much like her to search her library conversationally, generate something new, or ask Gemini to edit a photo. She dismisses the prompt, gets on with her life, and eventually meets it again.

Shopping for Back-to-school? These are the gaming laptops I’d recommend
Powerful enough for AAA games, practical enough for everyday lectures, assignments, and everything in between.

Every gamer knows the pain of trying to do too much with the wrong hardware. Back-to-School is the perfect excuse to fix that. A good gaming laptop shouldn’t just hit high frame rates -- it should also survive endless browser tabs, assignments, coding sessions, video edits, and everything else college throws at it. These five machines strike that balance better than most, which is exactly why they’d be my picks this semester.

If you look at the AI landscape, a majority of its usage in the film and television industry has been pretty controversial. Bringing dead actors to life on a screen, using AI to record vintage songs that were never completed, or just using it to film scenes or handle any other part of the creative process — the backlash has been pretty vocal. But there are a few slivers of hopeful AI usage, too, and Google just delivered one of those in a heartwarming fashion using Gemini AI.
