Microsoft Loop now lets users access their own personal workspace

Microsoft Loop now has a personal workspace for users. This workspace will be shared with Copilot Pages and can store ideas, sketches, and similar content.

After being teased in an entry in the Microsoft 365 Roadmap, the Redmond-based tech giant has now updated the platform with it. There will be only one personal workspace per user.

It acts like a OneDrive account, and Microsoft says that this personal workspace follows the same lifecycle management processes and policies.

The Loop app now provides a personal workspace to all users, which is shared with Copilot Pages. This personal workspace is a user-owned SharePoint Embedded container, one per user. All governance, lifecycle management and compliance processes apply the same way they would to a user’s OneDrive.

In a recent post to X, Microsoft says the Ideas section, which serves a similar goal, will not go anywhere, and users can still access even if they have a personal workspace in Loop.

Microsoft recently announced that it’ll let Loop users upload files up to 250 GB to the platform’s workspace, and it’s only fair to ask if the tech giant will enhance these personal workspaces with this capability. If so, they can be used as complementary virtual storage drives.

However, the entry doesn’t specify anything about it, so we don’t know if this is the case yet.
