Microsoft has released today apreview version of its OneDrive sync clientfor Windows on ARM devices and Macs with Apple M1 processors. A native OneDrive app for these ARM-based devices has been a top-requested feature from users, and the new client should bring performance improvements compared to the emulated version for x86 processors.

To try the new native OneDrive sync client, you’ll need to join the Office Insider program on your Windows on ARM PC or Apple Silicon Mac. Then, you’ll need to opt in to get pre-release versions of the OneDrive in Settings > About, and the option to download the OneDrive app built for Apple Silicon or Windows on ARM will appear at the bottom.

“We will be rolling out this feature to the Insiders ring over the next few days,” the OneDrive team said today. Office for Mac has already been recompiled for Apple Silicon Macs, but OneDrive was the missing piece from Microsoft’s productivity puzzle on macOS. If you have a Windows 11 on ARM device, anARM64 version of Office for Windowswas also released in preview earlier this summer.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
