About this tag
The OneDrive tag on WindowsForum.com covers Microsoft's cloud storage and sync service, with a focus on enterprise IT, security, and compliance. Recent discussions include the end of OneDrive sync support for Windows 10 builds older than 22H2 on August 15, 2026, and Microsoft Purview's upcoming retention policy recommendations for SharePoint and OneDrive.

The tag also touches on OneDrive integration in Windows 11 File Explorer, including fixes in preview updates, and its use in offline editing workflows with tools like Windows Movie Maker and Clipchamp.
