Microsoft plans to expand the reach of its Copilot productive AI assistant to users using OneDrive on the web. This week, the company announced on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap site that Copilot is planned to be available to OneDrive web users in May.
The listing on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap site states: “Copilot in OneDrive, available on OneDrive Web, lets you ask questions and get information from files in your OneDrive without having to open the files. It will also summarize one or more files. Copilot in OneDrive will work on the following file types: DOC, DOCX, FLUID, LOOP, PPT, PPTX, XLSX, PDF, ODT, ODP, RTF, ASPX, RTF, TXT, HTM, and HTML.”
The new feature will require a subscription to Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365. In January 2024, the company announced that Copilot for Microsoft 365 is now generally available to all businesses.
Microsoft has been paying much more attention to its OneDrive cloud storage services over the past few months. The company first announced plans for OneDrive 3.0 in October 2023, which included a new user interface and features like a new Contacts center that organizes cloud files based on the people who share them with the user. This new design started to be available for individual users of OneDrive at the beginning of the week.
