Using OneDrive to collaborate in the office and remotely

Estimated Reading Time:

2 Minutes, 36 Seconds 

Is OneDrive the right file collaboration tool for business and home use? Read our latest blog to find out what it is, what is new and how to get the most out of it…
Getting work done and storing files safely is important to all of us. From work life, to home activities, we all need the right tool for the job. That’s where Microsoft OneDrive comes in. OneDrive is a cloud-based collaborative platform that can be used on both an enterprise scale, as well as for personal file sharing and storage. Users can access robust security features, seamless backup, and access to the full Microsoft 365 suite, from any device.
OneDrive runs alongside Microsoft 365, and enhances the collaborative freedom users have for their business and personal file use.
Here is a rundown of what’s new, and what you can look forward to, after installing OneDrive:
Add to OneDrive – Users can now share, store, and edit any file as if it were their own. Add to OneDrive gives teams the freedom to collaborate across files remotely, whilst still retaining all the latest security and compliance policies.
It really is a game changer, as it allows every kind of user to step up their collaborative flexibility. This feature will bring applications like SharePoint and Teams closer together, which leads into the next feature:
Teams sharing integration – File sharing in Teams just got a lot more secure. Now, users can benefit from having the same sharing options that come with their other Microsoft 365 apps like Outlook.
The new update means that Teams will allow you to choose between anyone, or only people from your organisation or group chat. Once you select your preference, those people are then able to make changes real-time, as well as see any updates you make to the file yourself.

Move and keep sharing – If you ever need to relocate a file, now you can do so whilst automatically notifying your teams/friends. Whenever you move a file, those that previously collaborated on it will be provided with a link to the new file, plus, they will maintain the same permissions they had beforehand.
Increased file size limit – Like to share large files? Now, OneDrive has given you more freedom! The maximum file size for uploads to OneDrive and SharePoint has increased from 15 GB to 100 GB for all kinds of users, great for video and 3D file users.
Comment notifications – Comment notifications can now be turned off for individual files, instead of a full library, so that you can focus on your most important files without distraction.
Sync admin reports – As an admin, you should have better control over the monitoring of your team. Microsoft has enhanced its admin reports feature, to let you fully see where users are falling behind on updates, sync success, and where errors are occurring in the sync process. This is great for ensuring files remain both secure and up to date.
Better group sharing, better privacy – Now, users can specify people they wish to share files with. Your files can be kept within your group, and everyone in the group can edit those files real-time.
Privacy is Microsoft’s top priority, so have peace of mind that all files stored via OneDrive can be protected with file encryption, a personal vault, virus scanning, and much more – your files are always protected via OneDrive.
OneDrive is the ultimate file collaboration tool for business and home use. File sharing is safe, secure, and scalable between colleagues, friends, and family, while accessing the latest security and collaborative features.
We believe OneDrive can help anyone, that’s why we are here to help you make the most out of your solutions. Call us today to see how we can help you get more from your OneDrive.
