ChromeOS and Microsoft 365 will start playing nicer with each other this year - Ars Technica

old frenemies — Enlarge/ ChromeOS will feature better OneDrive and Microsoft 365 support "later this year."

Google says ChromeOS will add a "new integration" for Microsoft 365, making it easier to install the app and adding built-in support for OneDrive in ChromeOS' native Files app.

Advertisement ChromeOS users can currently access OneDrive and other Microsoft 365 services through their web interfaces or Android apps installed via the Google Play Store, but they don't integrate with the built-in ChromeOS Files app the way that Google Drive does.

Unlike iOS and Android, where Microsoft has given up on being a competitor and is now focused on providing apps and services, Microsoft is trying to enlarge and maintain its foothold in ChromeOS while simultaneously trying to defeat it.

The Surface Laptop SE and Windows 11 SE are built to compete with ChromeOS hardware and software (respectively), and they try to offer some of the same admin tools and management features that have made ChromeOS so popular in schools.
