T House April 29th news, technology media WinBuzzer published a blog post yesterday (April 28th), reporting that Microsoft plans to proactively prompt users to add personal accounts and sync files on work devices from May 2025. According to the Microsoft 365 roadmap (ID 490064), after the OneDrive client side detects that users log in to personal Microsoft services on work devices (such as accessing outlook.com through Microsoft Edge), it will directly issue an invitation to guide users to sync personal content. IT House quoted the blog post as saying that this feature is enabled by default. If it conflicts with the enterprise data governance policy, IT administrators need to intervene through Group Policy. Microsoft provides two group policies, “DisableNewAccountDetection” and “DisablePersonalSync”, which are used to prevent prompts from appearing and completely disable personal account synchronization. The media believes that for enterprises, personal files and sensitive work data can be mixed on the same device. Although Microsoft provides management tools, the sync prompts turned on by default make it necessary for IT departments to revisit data security policies. Administrators can adjust function settings through group policies to ensure compliance with the organization’s security standards. Given the past synchronization issues of OneDrive and the risk of blurring data boundaries, enterprises may need to configure relevant policies in advance to deal with the launch of this feature.
