OneDrive has been Microsoft’s premier cloud storage solution for many years.  OneDrive for Business integration with Office 365 products has made the platform extremely versatile and popular amongst many organizations.

Many organizations still aren’t aware of the benefits that OneDrive offers, despite other Office programs being so popular within the business world.  OneDrive’s tight integration to these other Microsoft Office products make it even easier for users to share, store and collaborate on data.

How Your Office can Utilize OneDrive

The simplest benefit OneDrive offers is a secure private cloud-based folder, which you can use to store everything you need to access, and the ability to access this data securely from any device.  Not only can you maintain security with your OneDrive data, but you can also set sharing and editing rights at the folder or even the document level.  This means you can start collaborating with team members either inside or outside your organization easily.

You can also create and share secure links to collaborate with your team or customers with.  Instead of sending sensitive information as an attachment in an email, you can use OneDrive to create a shareable link to that same content.  You can also adjust the level of access for the shared content to ensure only the right users get the content your sending.

Just some of the benefits of OneDrive include –

  • Unlimited file access
  • Access to files from anywhere
  • Organizational platform for files
  • Free-up valuable local Disk Storage
  • Secure place to store files and data
  • Tight integration with other Microsoft Products like Office 365
  • Easily shareable content between teams large and small

OneDrive is included if you already an Office 365 customer.  Depending on which license you are using with Office 365, your may have up to 1 TB of OneDrive storage available already.  You also get 5 GB of free OneDrive storage just for having a Microsoft account.

Although OneDrive is an incredibly robust cloud solution, it’s still a good idea to backup your OneDrive data outside of Microsoft.  Having a local backup or a separate cloud backup can ensure that if you lose access to your Microsoft account you can still have access to your data.

OneDrive security and access can also be controlled globally by Office 365 security and account settings.  This means all your data remains in one place and access can be easily controlled through your IT team.
