Loop App Stores its Data in Syntex Repository Services

When Microsoft released the preview of the Loop app, we figured out that Loop uses a special form of SharePoint Online to store its workspaces and pages. Now we know that Loop uses Syntex Repository Services, a new offering that allows apps to create storage partitions within SharePoint Online and use those repositories to store the files needed by the app. It's still early days for both the Loop app and Syntex Repository Services (in private preview) and many operational details need to be explored, but the new offering is an interesting choice for app developers when it comes to deciding where to store their data.
