Microsoft ending support for OneDrive preview feature

It looks like Microsoft is making a killing, as the Redmond-based company recently confirmed that it will stop supporting running Android apps on Windows 11 starting March 5, 2025. Another feature Microsoft is planning to delete involves the ability to preview files downloaded to Windows 11. OneDrive.

Microsoft confirmed yesterday that it will stop supporting the preview feature that allows users to upload files to OneDrive from a URL. This feature will stop working on March 29, 2024, so after this date users will no longer be able to upload files to OneDrive from a URL.

On the bright side, files already downloaded from a URL will remain in OneDrive and will not be affected by the change.

The reason behind this change is low usage, Microsoft claims. Additionally, the company claims that this feature comes with high maintenance costs.and it doesn't align with our vision of OneDrive as a cloud storage service that syncs your files across devices.”

OneDrive users who want to continue previewing this feature after March 29, 2024 will need to upload smaller files or, for larger files, start using upload sessions.
