Microsoft announces it will stop supporting OneDrive offline download function in 2024

Microsoft officially announced recently that it will terminate support for OneDrive’s offline download function, which is the operation of uploading files to OneDrive through a URL, after March 29, 2024. Domestic network disk services usually call this function "offline download". Microsoft said this move is designed to continue to improve the performance and reliability of OneDrive.

According to the editor’s understanding, although many users may not know that OneDrive also has an offline download function, Microsoft revealed that this function is actually only an experimental feature and is still in the preview stage and is limited to For OneDrive Personal Edition users. Microsoft head Patrick Rogers explained that after evaluation, they found that the usage of this feature is low, but the maintenance cost is relatively high. What's more, this feature doesn't fit in with Microsoft's long-term vision for OneDrive as a cloud storage service that syncs files across devices.

Although Microsoft has announced that it will end support for the offline download function, files that users have uploaded to OneDrive through this function will remain unaffected and will still be saved in the user's cloud storage space. This move aims to improve the OneDrive service experience and ensure that users can synchronize and share files more smoothly. For those users who rely on offline download capabilities, they may want to explore other alternatives to meet their offline file upload needs.
