  • Microsoft 365 Onedrive Frequently Asked Questions
    MICROSOFT 365 ONEDRIVE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What is OneDrive for Business? OneDrive is an integral part of Office 365. OneDrive is a Microsoft-hosted location where employees can store and share files and access files from anywhere using any Internet-connected device. How does OneDrive for Business work? Getting started with OneDrive for Business is easy. You can add files already on your computer to OneDrive by either copying them over or moving them from your computer through drag-and- drop. When you save new files, you can choose to save them to OneDrive so you can get to them from any device and share them with other people. And, if your computer has a built-in camera, you can automatically save copies of the photos in your camera roll to OneDrive, so you'll always have a backup. How can I benefit from using OneDrive? Here are a number of ways you can benefit from using OneDrive: Automatically save a backup copy of your files. Access your files from anywhere. Easily switch between different devices. Share files with whomever you want – whenever you want. Free access to Office online. Do I have to install the OneDrive app on all my computers? No. If you don't want to keep all the files in your OneDrive on a computer, you can still work with your OneDrive on that computer by going to the OneDrive website. How should I prepare for my files to be moved to OneDrive? The process of moving your files is relatively simple. While your files are moving, you may not edit them, so plan on doing other work tasks that do not require you to work within your files.
