Microsoft OneDrive is now a progressive web app

Microsoft's OneDrive is now a progressive web app (PWA). The motion allows the website to feel a bit more than similar a native app. Information technology can now be "installed" through Microsoft Edge to open up in its own window. The OneDrive PWA tin can also be set to launch automatically when a PC is turned on. People can too pivot the PWA to their Start menu or Taskbar on Windows.

Aaron Gustafson, main program manager of the Microsoft Edge squad, shared the news on Twitter.

Gustafson'due south image shows the PWA on a Mac, but a like message appears when navigating to the site on a Windows 10 PC.

Just similar the OneDrive website, the PWA doesn't supersede the OneDrive sync client. If a person wants OneDrive files to announced and sync through the File Explorer, they'll take to utilize the OneDrive sync client that ships with Windows 10.

Microsoft also has a OneDrive app in the Microsoft Store that provides much of the aforementioned functionality as the OneDrive progressive web app.

Interestingly, Gustafson discusses an upcoming Filesystem Access API. This could be used to permit the OneDrive PWA to sync files on PCs, but the team behind OneDrive may not choose to use it.

The Filesystem Access API is coming… not saying they'd apply it, but this would be a use case for it. And last fourth dimension I was paying attention to that conversation, I call up they were looking at PWAs existence granted the permission (past users) for longer than browser tabs.
