Pan and zoom 360° photos within OneDrive
This new functionality will help you to pan and zoom 360° panoramic images directly in OneDrive. From now on, if you upload 2:1 photos or 360° photos, they will be automatically identified as 360° images. Every time you open a 360° photo in OneDrive, the native image viewer will appear. Release notes:
Any 360° images uploaded to OneDrive for Business prior to the introduction of this feature will not be automatically identified. For these images, either using the manual renaming method mentioned below, or re-uploading them, will allow viewing as a 360° This feature currently only supports full 360° images; we do not yet fully support partial panoramic images. If 360° images downloaded from a site are stripped off their respective metadata, you can manually indicate to OneDrive that they are 360° images by renaming the image filename to end in “.360.jpg” or “.360.jpeg”.
Example: photo.jpg renamed to photo.360.jpg Before the image viewer was added to OneDrive for Business, 360° photos appeared as flat images, but now you can enjoy the full, immersive, and interactive experience while panning around panoramic images.
