OneDrive: Folder Backup for macOS

Originally posted by Microsoft Oct 17, 2022 OneDrive for Business 0 Comments

Folder Backup enables an admin and/or end-user to redirect the local macOS Desktop and Documents folder to OneDrive.  This allows the end user to keep using those folders to save their content while delivering the protection and access anywhere promise that OneDrive offers.  The feature and relative list entries are very similar to the Folder Backup experience that has been on Windows for a while.

Note: If your organization does not use macOS you can safely disregard this message.

Announcing General Availability for Storyline for Microsoft Viva Engage and Yammer

Originally posted by Microsoft Oct 17, 2022 Yammer 0 Comments

Storyline is a new way for people to share, connect, and contribute to their organization through Yammer and the Viva Engage app. Previously, the only way to share broadly through Yammer was through communities, but communities aren’t always a perfect fit for what people want to share. In some cases, there may not be a community that matches the subject the person wants to discuss. In other cases, the community’s audience may be too broad, or not broad enough.
