About OneDrive Integration

OneDrive is the Microsoft cloud service that connects you to all your files. It lets you store and protect your files, share them with others, and get to them from anywhere on all your devices. When you use OneDrive with an account provided by your company or school, it's sometimes called "OneDrive for work or school." It used to be known as "OneDrive for Business," so you may still see it called that in places.

Most companies will instruct their employees to save their documents onto OneDrive, rather than a local hard disk. This improves resilience and means that all of their data isn't lost, if they lose their computer/laptop.

Sometimes, businesses will use a mixture of OneDrive and SharePoint to store their documentation. Group documents stored on SharePoint are often most easily accessed through Microsoft Teams, but that's for a different section!

Here's some examples of who the integrations with OneDrive might help and how, in your business:

• Safety Teams - When migrating policy documents, automatically convert them from Word to PDF and save in a central SharePoint location
• Safety Teams - Save certain email attachments directly to a OneDrive folder for back-up (NB - this might be best for non personally identifiable information)
• Safety Teams - Synchronise changes from OneDrive to SharePoint folders, if you want to maintain control over which documents are 'live' at a given time

• Operational Teams - Sync a OneDrive & Google drive together
• Operational Teams - Copy Dropbox files to OneDrive, as soon as they're added

The above are some very simple examples of what can be achieved. Below are some examples of the pre-populated solutions that you can find on Microsoft. Plug and play with the help of Simple Foundry:
