Wow, what an incredible year of updates, new innovations, announcements, and of course, time with you all-our valuable customers, partners, and OneDrive users to gain valuable feedback that helps drive our product to be great! I wanted to wrap up the year with highlights of some of our key moments to and share resources for you to indulge in. Reflecting on OneDrive's Recent Innovations As we look back on our journey this year, we’ve introduced many features and updates to the OneDrive experience. From AI-powered capabilities to improved user interfaces, these updates help you work faster and more efficiently. Some of those highlights include: Copilot in OneDrive (Web) One of the exciting features we announced was the general availability of Copilot in OneDrive for web. Copilot is there to help you work faster and smarter by generating summaries for large documents, comparing differences between multiple files, and answering complex questions using stored data. Whether generating ideas for new documents or quickly finding insights, Copilot became a valuable productivity companion. Copilot in OneDrive: Comparing files in a table Faster performance online or offline We've taken enhanced OneDrive's web experience for our users. Now, you can view, edit, and organize your files at lightning speed—even when you're offline. Whether you're browsing through large libraries or filtering documents, everything feels faster, smoother, and more responsive. Colored Folders on Windows We introduced colored folders in Windows File Explorer, bringing a splash of color to file organization. You can customize folders with different colors, making it easier to organize and locate files. Whether managing personal projects or work documents, colored folders added a touch of personalization to file management. Colored folders in Windows File Explorer Sync Admin Report Export Capability (Public Preview) For our IT admins, we rolled out the Sync Admin report export capability in public preview this year. Enabling you to export detailed sync reports, gaining valuable insights into your sync performance and troubleshooting sync-related concerns more effectively. Enhanced OneDrive Search experience We understand that searching for specific files among a mountain of documents can be time consuming. That's why we introduced a suite of enhancements to OneDrive, designed to optimize the search experience. These updates made it quicker and easier for you to locate the files you need, making the whole process faster and more efficient than ever before. OneDrive’s next generation improvements As part of our continued commitment to bring the best OneDrive experience to you all, we introduced new enhancements to work better across M365 apps. The integration of the OneDrive app in Outlook allows you to access your OneDrive files directly from Outlook, making it easier to share and collaborate on documents without leaving your email. And we can’t forget about Media view helping you find and enjoy your media files easier than ever. Whether you're organizing your photos or reviewing videos, this streamlined experience keeps your media content at your fingertips.

Stolen laptop can't access one drive
I recently had my.laptop stolen. Fortunately my files have mostly been backed up on OneDrive which was set up when I first purchase the laptop. However I can't recall what an username or email I uaed and the password. Any ideas how I can get reminded of the user password at least. The password I can work out or reset it. I'm not 100% as ure was onedrive but as was windows 7 I assume one drive. I always rember between desktop and the c: drive and any other drives such as those when attach phone or other devices. I remember the external.memory being in between on the file explorer. Can anyone help me? Was thinking if I supply my regular used IP address or can find the device or laptop name can Microsoft help me at all..I had around 8 years of photos on there. Please please help thanks.in advance.
