iOS now lets s set a PIN code lock for accessing the app and adds the Touch ID to let s sign in to the app with fingerprint authentication.

The tweaked design for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus shows more files and folders on screen, and more space for making edits to Office documents. Microsoft says that the OneDrive app also has the added ability to sort files and folders (by name, date or size) on iPhone or iPad.

On the other hand, Microsoft has integrated Outlook Web App (OWA) for OneDrive for Business s. Now when they send an email in OWA, it will allow them to insert a link to a file on their OneDrive for Business cloud drive instead of attaching the file itself. Secondly, when the attachment is sent from the computer or device it will also get automatically ed to OneDrive for Business cloud drive folder called Email Attachments.

Similar to choosing files from device storage, s can select a file stored on OneDrive and send it either as a link to the OneDrive file, or as a traditional attachment with granted permissions for recipients. If the file has been sent as attachment, it will appears the same as if it was attached but with a cloud symbol within the file icon.

Currently, the OneDrive for Business integration is available in OWA, OWA for Android phone (pre-release). Microsoft says that it is working to bring the integration to the Outlook desktop client in a future version.
