Browse files by People in OneDrive

OneDrive People View: Easily get to files shared by people with the new People view in OneDrive Web

Sometimes it can be hard to remember the name of a file or exactly when it was shared, but you know who shared it with you. Because of this, we’ve created an entirely new way to get back to your shared files both internal and external – organized by the people you work with! This view presents the people you have recently collaborated with, along with all the files that have been shared with you by each person.

We know that security and privacy are of utmost importance here, and we assure you that in this view you’ll only see files in that you have access to.

You end users will be able to see a new pivot under Browse by files section in their OneDrive.
