The Microsoft OneDrive Windows desktop client has updated to Build 17.3.6390.0509, which offers a long-promised feature. Nearly a year ago atMicrosoft Ignite, a plan was set forward to integrate OneDrive and OneDrive for Business together. AsWindows ITPro has pointed out, the new version has merged the business and personal clients seamlessly into one useful tool.

Visiting the Account Settings, the user will be able to add both their work and personal files by clicking on the respective buttons. Don’t have the ‘Add a Business Account’ button? Then make sure that you haveinstalled the latest updatefrom their website.

The step-by-step prompts should ask for credentials, validation, and help set up the file syncing through a simple setup process similar to that of creating a personal account. Afterward, File Explorer should show two entries: one for the work account and one for personal use.

Go check out the client on your Windows PC, and let us know in the comments if this new functionality is useful for you.

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.
