Microsoft OneDrive will natively support ARM chips including Apple M1 devices
Microsoft OneDrive, a cloud storage service owned by Microsoft, currently supports use on a variety of devices, and after Apple launched devices based on the M1 chip, Microsoft also has a lot of software actively adapted to launch the ARM64 version, but the OneDrive adaptation progress is slow and the adaptation has not been completed yet.
The latest news from the Microsoft 365 team is that the ARM64-based OneDrive client will arrive in the Windows 11 development version before the end of this year. At that time, Windows 11 devices based on the ARM chip will be able to use the native version of the OneDrive client. At the same time, Microsoft will also adapt the M1 chip to provide a better experience for Apple devices equipped with self-developed ARM processors.
Compared with the current x64 converted version, the native version of OneDrive has better performance and a smoother user experience. If the preview test starts at the end of the year, it is estimated that the ARM64 version of the OneDrive client will officially arrive next spring.
In addition to client adaptation, Microsoft also announced that OneDrive will be supported by Explorer on Windows 11. When the OneDrive folder is opened through Explorer and the file is selected, the share button will be displayed directly on the top of Explorer, allowing users to share files through OneDrive will be more convenient.
