What are the different benefits of moving data to OneDrive?

Postby davidboon2813 on Thu Jan 28, 2021 10:09 am

To get work done from anywhere, across your devices, you need ubiquitous access to all your files – online and offline. Business information needs to be up to date and in reach, without compromise.
Digital natives and mobile professionals expect this. And OneDrive does not disappoint. OneDrive is the intelligent files app for Microsoft 365—your conduit to access, share and collaborate on all your files anytime, from anywhere, and across all your devices.
Let us look at the top 5 benefits of Migrating to OneDrive

1. Be productive and stay connected
OneDrive enables you to synchronize your content to your PC and Mac so you can easily and securely access files anytime—even when you are offline. Once you're back online, your new files and edits will sync to OneDrive automatically. You can view and edit your files, as well as collaborate in real-time and share files/folders easily and directly from your desktop—without using a web browser. Also, everyone who has access to these files, will always have the latest version of the file at hand.

2. With more files, comes more space
As you create and collaborate on more files and take more photos, do you worry whether there is enough storage on your device? You shouldn’t have to—OneDrive has your back!
OneDrive Files On-Demand on PC and Mac helps you access all your files in OneDrive without having to download all of them and use storage space on your device. You don’t have to change the way you work, because all your files—even online-only files—can be seen in File Explorer or Mac Finder.

3. Access beyond your individual files and folders
We see OneDrive as the files app for Microsoft 365 enabling you to access all your shared content across Microsoft 365, inclusive of SharePoint and Microsoft Teams, in addition to your individual work files. OneDrive enables you to sync files and folders from shared libraries that you have access to within your organization harnessing a ubiquitous and secure productivity experience across OneDrive and SharePoint. You can also sync files from libraries or folders that have been shared from other organizations (B2B). This implies, that you can sync content shared not only by peers within your own organization, but also by partners, customers, external contractors, suppliers and third-party vendors outside of your organization that you regularly collaborate with.

4. Monitor your files and sync actions
The OneDrive Activity Center is the hub for all your OneDrive related activity and can be accessed by right clicking the OneDrive cloud icon in the task bar on Windows or menu bar on Mac. It shows you the current synchronization status and what files are in the queue to be uploaded or downloaded.

5. Admins: Customize sync experience with effective policies
As always, we have saved the best for last!
For Windows devices, with a set of GPOs you can allow or block syncing OneDrive accounts for specific organizations by specifying a list of tenant IDs, configure the maximum speed at which the OneDrive sync client can upload or download files as well as balance the performance of different upload tasks on a computer by specifying the percentage of the computer's upload throughput that the OneDrive sync client can use to upload files.

I hope this information will be helpful!
