Storing Data on OneDrive

Introduction

OneDrive is an excellent location for securely storing your data in the cloud while also making it accessible on your device.  Use OneDrive to upload and save files that only you need to access, or to share files with a colleague or small group before finishing and publishing to a SharePoint site.

Note: Do not use OneDrive for long-term storage of business files or important organizational data.  OneDrive is connected to a person’s account; if that person leaves the organization, the OneDrive data will become inaccessible. Please consider storing these files on a relevant SharePoint site so that everyone that needs to access them can do so.
