The essential benefit of using Microsoft OneDrive is a secure and private cloud-based folder storing all files, accessible from any device. Document owners can set permissions for sharing and editing at the document level or folder level, allowing collaboration among colleagues inside and outside the organization. Teams can stop attaching documents to emails and work on files shared to the cloud.
Some of the other benefits of Microsoft OneDrive include:
- Unlimited access to files anytime, from anywhere
- File organization that helps anyone find what they need when they need it
- Freed-up device storage
- Content easily shared across teams, no matter what size
- Customized sync experience for admins
- Multimedia files supported
- Integration with other Microsoft products
With File On-Demand, people inside the organization can view, search, and interact with files stored in OneDrive, even if they haven't downloaded them locally.
The File Restore feature allows a file to be restored to any point within the past 30 days. Teams can view file activity and restore to a specified point, rolling back any changes made.
The Personal Vault on OneDrive offers additional security for files by requiring a second authentication method to access specific files.
Finally, by saving files to OneDrive, teams and businesses save space on the devices themselves and don't have to wait until they're back in the office at the computer to access a file. They can get it when they need it, no matter where they are in the world.
