OneDrive for Android update enhances ability to view files while offline

Microsoft has just released a new version of OneDrive for Android, which brings a brand new feature into the mix and improves one that was already available for users of the application.

The ability to view OneDrive files while offline is not something new, but Microsoft has improved the feature by allowing users to see more than one files when they're not online.

Up until now, OneDrive users on Android could download and view a single file while offline. However, after the last update, the application will allow users to download an entire folder that can contain multiple files for offline view.

Keep in mind though that the ability to view multiple files offline is only available to users who own Office 365 Personal, Home, and Solo subscriptions. Those with Office 365 work and education account will get access to the new feature later on.

Aside from improving offline view on OneDrive for Android, Microsoft updated the design of the Discover view, which means users will now have access to a much better-organized feed that will show only the most relevant information.

Both improvements have been implemented in OneDrive version 4.12, which should be available to everyone via Google Play Store.
