Microsoft has been criticized in the past for porting applications from Windows on the Mac, it completely renounces user interface customization. The applications therefore appeared unfinished at first glance and often did not support native functions of the Apple operating system. And this was also the case OneDrive, which is nowonehas been updated. The goal was to create an environment with an emphasis on fast and reliable synchronization. And of course, the design was not left out. The new version brings a complete redesign, including support for Liquid Glass.
New Activity Center and Liquid Glass
The most visible change is the redesigned OneDrive Activity Center. This is a small window that appears when you click on the icon OneDrive in the top menu bar. The interface is now faster, cleaner and designed in the language of SwiftUI.

The redesign also includes support for Liquid Glass, which arrived with macOS 26. The interface elements thus correspond to the current direction. Applu and fit better into the system. Microsoft It also added new system dialogs with the typical look of macOS 26. This means that confirmation windows, notifications, and other interactions meet Apple standards. The new version also supports accessibility features such as VoiceOver and Full Keyboard Access. These allow for more convenient application control using the keyboard or voice.
The update is currently available in beta version and is gradually being rolled out to users. At a later stage, it should be available automatically to all users OneDrive on Mac. In such cases, I always evaluate an application based on how it works. So for me, as long as the application is reliable and works quickly, I don't care whether it has Liquid Glass written on it or not. But it's good that Microsoft in this direction on Apple does not forget.
so I don't know, instead of a visual, I would rather accept the removal of synchronization problems, quite often it happens that after waking up it simply farts on synchronization, sometimes you edit a file and it has office online mode enabled and you will find that after saving that file has become a local file…. and similar nonsense, classic Microsoft…whatever… only pausing the sync and restarting the sync helps…
