This feature allowing easy collaboration on many types of documents. By storing your documents in the cloud, rather than on a physical device, you’re able to work with more flexibility. If you’ve been following our blog, you’ve learned that Microsoft ensures encryption on all of their Office 365 applications. For you, this means enhanced security features to ensure industry-standard compliance.
How Does OneDrive Work?
OneDrive works just like the ‘my documents‘ section of your computer does, providing a physical location for any documents. By syncing your files to OneDrive, your data will be simultaneously hosted on the cloud through Microsoft’s secure servers.
Many people are skeptical about cloud-hosted documents. They believe in the event of an internet outage, they will not have access to their data. This is where OneDrive thrives! By storing your physical data on your machine and the cloud, you always have access to your files. Unfortunately, natural disasters do occur. Have you ever thought about what could happen to your information if your office building were to catch fire? With OneDrive, your cloud-stored data can easily be reloaded onto another machine for quick access. This feature alone will guarantee to save your business both time and money. Cloud solutions are the way of the future and will only continue to improve as time progresses.
Collaborating is Easy with OneDrive
With OneDrive, you have the flexibility to work on a document with clients, or members of your team. It’s incredibly easy to share a document with editing permissions for two or more people, to make changes in realtime. With the collaboration tools within OneDrive, users also have the ability to limit permissions on who is allowed to do what with any given file. These permissions only allow shared users to print or view the document.

If lots of your OneDrive files get deleted, overwritten, corrupted, or infected by malware, you can restore your entire OneDrive to a previous time.
