What is OneDrive?
OneDrive is Microsoft 365’s personal cloud storage enabling users to store, access, share and collaborate in real time on documents and files on any device. It integrates with SharePoint Online and other Microsoft 365 applications.

Users can share files for real-time collaboration, access files across devices via mobile apps, download for offline editing, and enable automatic backup and syncing.

OneDrive suits personal or individual work files – professional development documents, coaching materials. For active projects or organisation-wide sharing, Teams and SharePoint are more appropriate alternatives.
