Microsoft has announced that it will be discontinuing support for running Android apps on Windows 11 by March 5, 2025. Additionally, the tech giant will also be ending support for the preview feature that allows users to upload files to OneDrive from a URL by March 29, 2024.

The decision to discontinue these features was made due to low usage and high maintenance costs. Microsoft stated that the preview feature does not align with their vision for OneDrive as a cloud storage service that syncs files across devices.

Users who have already uploaded files from a URL to OneDrive need not worry, as these files will remain unaffected by the change. However, after March 29, 2024, users will no longer be able to upload files from a URL to OneDrive.

For those who wish to continue benefiting from the preview feature, Microsoft suggests uploading smaller files or utilizing upload sessions for larger files. This change aims to streamline the user experience and improve overall functionality within OneDrive.
