Microsoft OneDrive and SharePoint

As an expanding business, your data is increasing and you need to store data and share files securely. Opt for cloud storage instead of having an on-premise storage device.

Microsoft OneDrive is a cloud storage service that allows you to store, sync and share your files across all your devices. Here are the features that Microsoft OneDrive offers.

​

  1. Access Anywhere: Access your files from anywhere as long as you are connect to the internet, from your PC, laptop or even phone

  2. Real-Time Collaboration: OneDrive is integrated with Microsoft 365 applications like Word, Excel and PowerPoint so you can collaborate on documents live

  3. Automatic Backup: automatically back up your photos and videos

  4. Storage Options: 5 GB of free storage is accessible but you can you upgrade to different plan for up to 1 TB of storage

  5. Security: OneDrive offers robust security features to protect your data, including file encryption and advance security options with Microsoft 365

​​

We suspect that you might have heard about SharePoint, in a similar light where it is also a cloud storage solution that Microsoft offers. Did you know they serve different purposes and are designed for different uses?

​

Let's take a look into their differences.

​

OneDrive

  • Personal Storage​: mainly for individual use, where you store personal files and documents that don't need sharing

  • Access Files Anywhere: as long as you are connected to the internet, you can access these files from your phone or your PC

  • Simple Sharing: OneDrive does not limit sharing files with others but it's more of storing personal files rather than team collaboration

​

SharePoint

  • Team Collaboration: SharePoint is built for team collaboration as it is a central place where teams can store, organise, share and access information

  • Advanced Features: offers advanced features like creating websites, managing workflows, and setting up permissions for different users

  • Microsoft 365 Integration: an ideal feature for collaborating on projects and managing documents within organisations

​

#Funfact: if you share files in Teams, it will appear in your SharePoint - making it easier for team members to access the files again

​

In short, SharePoint is business friendly and made to collaborate effectively.
