Microsoft OneDrive will support file restoring feature

Microsoft disclosed that oneDrive cloud disk will be added to the file recovery feature, very useful for the prevention of threats such as ransomware. It is learned that in the future when users use the OneDrive cloud disk, they may choose to roll back the files to an earlier version if needed, and may cancel the accidental operation or the change caused by the foreign malware.

Stephen L Rose, Microsoft’s senior product manager, demonstrated this functionality at a recent conference in San Diego, but for the time being it is not yet clear whether it will only support business customers or all common users.

According to Microsoft, it will come online in the end of this month.
