What\u2019s new in File Picker v8?<\/h2>\n
With this latest version of File Picker, you can integrate directly with the Microsoft 365 service, saving you complexity and time during the development phase and providing your users with the same rich, familiar user experience of OneDrive or SharePoint.<\/p>\n
Users who are already logged into Microsoft 365 can seamlessly access files and content through your web app, without having to log into the Microsoft 365 account a second time.<\/p>\n

How can I try the latest version of File Picker?<\/h2>\n
Review the updated documentation<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0samples<\/a> to get started. No SDK or additional installation is required. If you have any questions or issues, please let us know using the issues list<\/a>.<\/p>\n Note: If you\u2019re using File Picker\u00a0v7.2 or older<\/a>, we encourage you to use the above resources to transition to the latest version so you can get the benefits of Microsoft 365 apps and services in your own web apps.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Microsoft customer and partner\u00a0ClearPeople<\/a>\u00a0developed its\u00a0Atlas Digital Workspace & Intranet Platform<\/a>\u00a0–\u00a0a single and intuitive interface that connects\u00a0the digital tools, information, and knowledge\u00a0that\u00a0employees\u00a0need to do their best work.\u00a0 The development team at ClearPeople is using the latest version of OneDrive File Picker to create a user-friendly publishing flow via an Add It option in SharePoint or the Add It Teams app.<\/p>\n Before, users who wanted to publish a private file for a broader audience\u2014think of an HR manager who wants to publish a new policy document on the company\u2019s intranet site–were required to download the file from Teams, OneDrive, or SharePoint onto their device, and then upload the file from the device to the intranet. Now, Atlas developers have incorporated the OneDrive File Picker, so users can easily navigate to the file stored directly in their OneDrive, Teams channel, or SharePoint site and select it for publishing. Atlas developers also created a custom form to ensure that all published files have the correct associated metadata, so users can easily find the file during a search.<\/p>\n \u201cWith the new File Picker, we were able to create the Add It experiences in SharePoint and Teams within a week using just a few parameters<\/em>,\u201d explains\u00a0Guillermo Bas Ortiz, Product Manager at ClearPeople.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cIn addition, users have a better experience because they can choose files directly from their OneDrive or SharePoint and feel confident that all the relevant information gets carried over when a file is published for a broader audience.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Comeen Play<\/a>\u00a0(formerly DynamicScreen), is integrating the new picker to connect its\u00a0display management platform<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0content stored in OneDrive and SharePoint<\/a>. In this way, customers can easily incorporate files they are already collaborating on into display streams visible all over the world. Prior to this integration in the new picker, it couldn\u2019t use the picker due to its reliance on cookie-based authentication.<\/p>\n Simon Cleriot, CTO & Cofounder of Comeen<\/strong>, explains: \u201cOur system uses a technical account that will be used to access documents for digital signage. So, the\u00a0user isn\u2019t logged in to the browser. Instead, we retrieve a token before the user wants to broadcast content. With the previous version of the picker, you couldn\u2019t set a token, so that’s a big difference that we\u2019ve been waiting for.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Check out the\u00a0updated documentation<\/a><\/strong>, try out the\u00a0samples<\/a><\/strong> and get started today! \ud83d\ude80<\/p>\n![\"Image](\"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/microsoft365dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2022\/06\/onedrive.gif\")
