Users of OneDrive for Business now you can try the new option “Add to OneDrive”, a feature previously available in preview. The functionality allows users pin shared file shortcuts to your own libraries, making it easy to manage shared files without altering permissions.
OneDrive for Business now has shortcuts
“With Add to OneDrive, not only can we bring all of our shared content to one place, but we can also work with shared content with the same power and flexibility as if they were files we own. This means that we can easily synchronize and access these folders from anywhere on any device; share files safely in the added folder; and keep up with @mentions, activity, and notifications. The added folders also respect all existing policies, compliance and security settings », the company explained.
To add a shared file or folder to your library, simply select it and then click the icon «Add shortcut to My files» available on top. Once added, users will be able to see a shortcut of the file in the section My files. This feature works for files shared through SharePoint, Teams, and even OneDrive.
Microsoft says that IT administrators will be able to disable this feature for users in their organizations. The team will continue to listen to feedback and the temporary option will be removed in the coming months. You can refer to this support article for more information.
