Welcome to OneDrive UserVoice 2.0

This post has been republished via RSS; it originally appeared at: Microsoft OneDrive Blog articles.

One of the questions I get asked the most is about the process our engineering team uses to prioritize new features and functionality for OneDrive. There are many ways we do this today including quality feedback from the product (just shake to send on mobile), user telemetry, App Store reviews from our top-rated iOS and Android mobile apps and my favorite, our UserVoice feedback page.

 

In the past few years, UserVoice has been a key factor for prioritizing some new features and functionality we have brought to the product, including Files On-Demand, ransomware detection, file versioning, and Android SD storage card support.

 

The goal of UserVoice has always been to provide a platform for you to share, vote and discuss ideas on how we can work to improve OneDrive. It’s a critical part of our engineering process enabling our engineering team to sit down each month and review the features with over 500 votes and respond back to all of you.

 

Over the past few months, we have realized that our UserVoice needed a restructure to make it easier to find what you are looking for and reduce duplication to ensure your votes count. The answer is a redesigned UserVoice from the ground up, starting with the look and feel of the page, as well as a better alignment of categories to both current and future functionality. We feel this will better help you find where to search for requested features or to add your new requests.

 

Let’s break down our new categories you’ll find at https://onedrive.uservoice.com
