Microsoft have added file storing feature for business customers as customers have been demanding it for some time.
The update lets users peek at files from any time in the last month, recovering data removed by file corruption, or user error. In the settings menu, users notices a ‘Restore OneDrive’ button that lets them select a custom date and time.
User will gain access to all the files from that point in last 30 days and can scroll between days through an activity timeline. User can choose specific files for restoration or also bulk restore the lot.
To some companies, it result intime-saving, and it can also help employees to find the best version of their work.
The Ransomware Threat
It also protect against ransomware. Last year saw many such attacks, from the devastating WannaCrypt to Petya and Scarab. Organizations are finding a way to protect against these hacks, and cloud storage isn’t always a guarantee of safety.
Microsoft isn’t giving up on its other products despite this upgrade. It will continue to offer its Data Loss Prevention tools, as well as eDiscovery, customer-owned keys, and more.
Rather than offering something these services don’t, the focus of File Restore is ease of use. It means employees can fix their mistakes without going through admins, saving valuable time.
