#MVPbuzzChat with Hans Brender

In the 29th Episode of the #MVPbuzzChat interview series, I spoke with friend and fellow Office Apps & Services MVP Hans Brender (@HansBrender), a Cloud Productivity Evangelist with Bright Skies GmbH based in Germany, known as “Mr. OneDrive” in certain circles. In this video, Hans and I discuss the status of the OneDrive workload, and its evolution within the Office 365 ecosystem to become a key piece of infrastructure to many of the most common user experiences — with the OneDrive UI also becoming the standard for the new SharePoint list and library UI, as well as file navigation in other workloads, such as Teams and Yammer. We also discuss the continued shift in the community discussion from deeply technical topics to end user and business value-centric topics, which is a clear indication that these tools have moved from IT Pros and Devs into mainstream adoption by end users, who have become the majority of attendees at many of the regional SharePoint Saturday and other community events.

If you would like to connect with Hans, you can find him on Facebook here and here, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Xing (which is huge in Germany, in case you’re unfamiliar with it).
