OneDrive web address update: what you need to know

Microsoft is updating the web address (URL) used for OneDrive as part of a wider move to standardise its cloud services.

What’s changing?

You’ll start to see a new OneDrive URL:

  • Current: stir-my.sharepoint.com
  • New: onedrive.cloud.microsoft

Why?

This change creates a more consistent and recognisable Microsoft experience, helping users easily identify trusted services.

When?

  • Rolling out from early July 2026
  • Expected to complete by June 2027

What this means for you

  • You may notice the new cloud.microsoft address in OneDrive
  • No change to how you access, share, or collaborate on files
  • All existing links and bookmarks will continue to work
  • Both old and new URLs will work side by side

What’s not changing

  • File access, permissions, and sharing
  • SharePoint site URLs
  • Microsoft APIs and integrations
  • Personal OneDrive (which remains on the live.com domain)

Do you need to do anything?

No immediate action is required. However:

  • Be aware that cloud.microsoft is a trusted Microsoft domain
  • Update any internal guidance or documentation if relevant
