Microsoft has been adding quite a few features to its OneDrive cloud storage services lately. However, a new inspection of the code inside a recent beta build of the OneDrive Android app shows evidence that the company may be adding a requested feature.

Android Authority reports that she has performed an APK decompression of the code within the OneDrive v7.4 Beta 1 Android app. It found several strings of code containing the label “import_cloud_files.” Some of these strings specifically mention other cloud storage services, including Google Drive, Google Photos, and Dropbox.

The report also says that the code strings in the OneDrive Android beta app indicate that users won’t need to leave OneDrive to start the import process. Other strings indicate that the transfer will continue even if you close the OneDrive app.

This development will definitely help users who may use more than one cloud storage service but would like to consolidate their files, photos and videos into one account quickly.

Microsoft has not officially mentioned plans to add this feature to OneDrive. Keep in mind that discovering code strings in an APK that introduce undeclared features doesn’t mean they’ll be released, and Microsoft may end development of those features before they’re released to the public.

As we mentioned, Microsoft has been paying more attention to OneDrive recently. In January, it began rolling out a new user interface for OneDrive for personal users. It also announced some new features for Microsoft 365 Basic users a few weeks ago, including an expanded Personal Vault.

The Microsoft 365 Roadmap site notes that in May, people who access OneDrive online will be able to use the company’s Copilot AI assistant if they have a paid subscription to Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365.
