Overview
Loop components create .loop files (earlier releases created .fluid files), stored in OneDrive, SharePoint, or SharePoint Embedded. Storage counts against your organization's SharePoint quota. For details, see storage. To control creation, see admin policies.
Network requirements
URLs and IP address ranges
Verify that required network connections are allowed. Loop relies on core Microsoft 365 and SharePoint infrastructure. Configure your firewall or proxy settings according to Office 365 URLs and IP address ranges.
WebSocket connections
Allow WebSocket traffic to *.svc.ms and *.office.com endpoints. WebSocket connections enable real-time collaboration features including live editing, presence indicators, and shared cursors.
License requirements

Users need a OneDrive or SharePoint license.
Loop workspaces
