Across Office 365 and SharePoint we have a great tradition of taking technologies that required specialized expertise and making them mainstream. This morning at SharePoint Conference 2018 we introduced Microsoft AI in SharePoint with cognitive services, data management and analytics. These aren’t just for developers any more – they’re for everyone, thanks to SharePoint.

Also, millions of users rely on SharePoint lists every day to keep track of critical business data. From T-shirt sizes to issue management to public health programs, SharePoint lists can do it all. We’ve done a lot to make Flow and PowerApps work well with lists. This year, SharePoint lists will get even better – easier to build, easier to edit, and easier to share and analyze.

Here’s a summary of our announcements:

• Flow for Cognitive Analysis – Process any text for sentiment, key phrases, translation or moderation [Available Now]
• Row Formatting – Create immersive formatting for any list or library with scripting [Available later 2018]
• Image Analysis – Create immersive formatting for any list or library with scripting [Available now]
• AI for Images – Teach the cloud to recognize new objects for auto-tagging [Available Now]
• New ways to create lists – Create lists based on Excel, templates, or other lists [Available later 2018]
• Quicker list editing – Edit list content in place, and paste data from other sources [Available later 2018]
• Link list items – Connect list items to Planner, Outlook calendars, locations, and more [Available later 2018]
• Realtime list updates – See updates to lists and libraries instantly without refresh [Available later 2018]
• Analyze lists with Power BI – Connect list items to Planner, Outlook calendars, locations, and more [Available later 2018]
• Build Microsoft Flow workflows with Visio – Model a new process in Visio and export it to Microsoft Flow to activate and run custom processes [Available July 2018].
• Add file upload to Microsoft Forms – Add a custom question to allow users to supply a file to upload to SharePoint

Let’s look in more detail.

At the beginning of April, OneDrive announced new protection capabilities that offer Office 365 Home and Office 365 Personal subscribers additional peace of mind including the ability to recover files from malicious attacks like ransomware and new tools to help keep your information secure and private. This included bringing the powerful OneDrive for Business feature, Files Restore, to your personal OneDrive account.

Today, we are taking this protection one step further with the integration of OneDrive Files Restore and Windows Defender Antivirus. This will further protect you from ransomware attacks by identifying the breach and guiding you through remediation and file recovery, so you don’t have to submit to cybercriminal demands if your files are in OneDrive.

Saving your files to OneDrive gives you an additional layer of protection from ransomware. If a ransomware threat is found on your device, Windows Defender will notify you of the threat, help you remove the ransomware from your device, and give you the option to use OneDrive Files Restore so you can recover your OneDrive files to the state they were in before the attack occurred. The date and time that Windows Defender detected the attack will be pre-selected in Files Restore, making the process simple and easy to use.

Files Restore and Windows Defender integration is available for Office 365 Home, Office 365 Personal, and OneDrive for Business users. This integration is beginning to rollout to Windows Insiders today and will be available to all Windows 10 April 2018 Update users in the coming weeks. Learn more about the protections available to Office 365 Home and Personal subscribers.

Announcing a 20x increase in the SharePoint Online per user license storage allocation. This will increase to 1 TB plus 10 GB per user license purchased, up from 1 TB plus .5 GB per user license purchased. Note this does not include SharePoint Online kiosk plans including Office 365 F1 and Microsoft 365 F1.

All Office 365 services that use SharePoint for content services, including Microsoft Teams and Office 365 Groups, will benefit from this substantial storage increase.

Example scenarios of increased storage allocation

100 user licenses 5000 user licenses 100,000 user licenses
Base tenant allocation 1 TB 1 TB 1 TB
Per user license allocation 1 TB (100 * 10 GB) 50 TB (5000 * 10 GB) 1000 TB (100,000 * 10 GB)
Total tenant allocation 2TB 51 TB 1001 TB

This change will start rolling out on July 1, 2018 and will be completed by the end of August 2018. Once complete, you’ll see this increased storage in your SharePoint Online admin center. If you are currently paying for additional storage you can decrease this as needed after this change is reflected in your tenant.

As always, you can purchase additional storage if needed from within the SharePoint Online admin center on a per-gigabyte (GB), per-month basis.

We are humbled by SharePoint Online’s customer momentum and look forward to helping you achieve more with this additional content storage for your teams and organization.
