Copilot in OneDrive: A Copilot for your files

Another day, another Copilot. Copilot is coming to OneDrive, and this Copilot in OneDrive is going to be a copilot for your files. This will allow you to use certain Copilot functions from within OneDrive to work more effectively with your files, such as asking questions of content, and using different files as context for your requests.

This is available to Copilot for Microsoft 365 (Microsoft 365 Copilot or M365 Copilot) licensed users.

Didn’t you say the book was completely free for a limited time?

I personally use OneDrive in both my personal life and also Business. Ironically, this is one of my biggest gripes. Copilot works great for Excel, Word, and PowerPoint files located in OneDrive Personal, and yet refuses to even look at files for Business.

Frustrating to say the least since I’m paying for Copilot Monthy and expected I would be able to use it in any capacity as long as my computer had access to the files I’m working with.

Hi All, I am looking at migrating to onedrive for my employer. Can anyone confirm that co-pilot is active for OneDrive for business?

Thank you for the heads up on this. FWIW, and acknowledging I'm not your target group Id presume, I would appreciate if a distinction was made between copilot pro on MS Family versus MS business. As soon as I hear graph I assume it's not relevant. {even tho I work in large govt depth but copilot not possible ATM}
It's not for you to do the work of MS in untangling this confusingly rushed product avalanche, but if you were to throw in a "this bits not for you, (pleb!)" I'd love it.
Really enjoying your thoughtful measured analysis. Thanks again.

I have an Family 365 subscription as well as one for copilot pro. Unfortunately, this chat window in onedrive is not available for me. Does someone know why?

Nick I think your videos are good but lack some practical applied skills. 90% of your content is verbal including your sessions on the new copilot course
We all need hands on demonstration of how to build routines in copilot studio to access extensions to query databases files and websites utilise plugins to get the best performance
Have you plans in this area - we have lots of excel MVPs we need a Copilot MVP
