Microsoft’s universal app strategy is advancing at full speed, and unsurprisingly, the software giant is the pioneer of this new concept that’s supposed to address the lack of apps on modern Windows once and for all.



A universal app version of OneDrive is in the works as we speak, and during the weekend, the first beta showed up in the store, published by an Internal Beta account, as spotted by @h0x0d.
While the app cannot be downloaded, it does provide us with a closer look at Microsoft’s efforts, especially because the company has until now remained tight-lipped on such a project.
It's just a private beta for the moment The app description published in the store, however, doesn’t disclose any of the changes that the universal app could bring on Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile as compared to the dedicated clients that are already available for download.
“OneDrive is the one place for everything in your work and personal life. It gives you free online storage for all your personal files so you can get to them from your Windows device, your computer (PC or Mac), and any other devices you use. With OneDrive for Business, you also get storage for your work files so you can share and collaborate on them with other people at your work or school. The OneDrive app for Windows lets you easily work with your personal and work files when you’re on the go,” the description published in the store reads.
The universal app version of OneDrive will bring the same look and feature lineup on all devices running Windows 10, including PCs and smartphones. It will boast the typical features to browse OneDrive cloud content, share files, move, delete, rename items and group them in folders, search for information in your account and open files from OneDrive in other apps.
It's not yet clear when this app is scheduled to make its debut, but given the fact that it’s already in the beta development stage, it shouldn’t take too long until it shows up in the store for everyone.
