Users will be offered a guided setup experience that takes them through the process of installing the Microsoft 365 web app and connecting Microsoft OneDrive to their Chromebook Files app. Files will be moved to Microsoft OneDrive when opening in the Microsoft 365 app.
Keep an eye out for the full launch announcement details in the coming months, and for those in our dev and beta channels, you’ll be able to test the implementation even earlier so please keep an eye out!
I'm sure that this will be a welcome development to many. I hope that alternatives are offered, like opening MS Office files directly in Google Workspace. I hope that extension for editing remains available too, just either let them remove it or install it only if they choose. I also hope that perhaps some development on the extension occurs to improve its performance, particularly with spreadsheets.
I am a bit curious what will happen if your, let's say DOCX file isn't uploaded to your OneDrive and you double-click it... Will it automatically upload it to OneDrive and open it?
