Android users can now use their fingerprints as digital keys to their OneDrive cloud storage after Microsoft has added support for fingerprint authentication to its OneDrive app for Android.

Obviously, your Android-powered device needs to have a fingerprint sensor on board in the first place. However, this has been becoming less of a problem recently, as fingerprint sensors are no longer the domain of only flagship devices – so much so that, according to Counterpoint Research, nearly three-quarters of all smartphones shipped in 2018 are expected to be fingerprint-enabled.

Prior to this update, Android users could protect their data on OneDrive via a PIN code. iOS users have been able to use TouchID for the OneDrive app since 2014, roughly a year after Apple released its iPhone 5s that came equipped with the fingerprint scanner.
