What is OneDrive for work or school? – Microsoft Support

If you’re using Microsoft 365, you get at least 1 TB of space in the cloud, depending on your plan. If your OneDrive library is hosted on SharePoint Server in your organization, your organization’s administrators determine how much storage space is available.

All files that you store in OneDrive are private unless you decide to share them. You can share files and folders with co-workers so you can collaborate on projects. If you’re signed-in to Microsoft 365, you may even be able to share with partners outside of your organization, depending on what your company allows.

Tip: When you send email from Outlook Web App, you can attach a OneDrive file as a link, instead of sending an attachment. When you Attach a file as a link, you automatically give the people you send the message to permission to edit the file. Plus, you save space in everyone’s mailbox and encourage people to edit the same copy in OneDrive.

To get to OneDrive:

1. Sign in to Microsoft 365 or your SharePoint site with your work or school account.

2. At the top of the page, select the app launcher , and then select OneDrive.

   

OneDrive is part of your organization’s subscription to SharePoint in Microsoft 365 or through an on-premises installation of SharePoint Server.
