Anytime, Anywhere Access to Files

One of the benefits of OneDrive for Business is that it operates within the cloud, so you don’t have to log in from a particular workstation or device to gain access to your files. You also don’t need to physically be in the office or signed into your work network.

Collaborative Office Document Editing

OneDrive for Business can be integrated with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other applications for streamlined collaboration with clients and/or colleagues. With the co-authoring feature, you can see changes made to a document in real-time, with color indicators showing where your coworkers made changes.

OneDrive for Business improves your data quality by facilitating access to a single centralized document. Version control lets you restore a document back to a previous state – which helps when your team doesn’t agree on certain changes, or someone accidentally deletes critical information.

Effortless Document Sharing

You have several ways to share files with your organization, as well as with external users. Link sharing creates a direct link to the document, which allows internal or external users to access the information. You can set the document to require a sign-in, which limits sharing to your internal organization accounts only.

If you need to make an external link accessible to an external contributor, but you don’t want to keep that link active forever, the expiration date feature automatically disables the link at a specific time. Your documents can be read-only, which prevents any changes, or you can allow the viewer to make edits.

Your other sharing option works via a right-click context menu on your files or folders. You define the coworkers that are authorized to view the document, set edit or read-only permissions and decide whether you want to send a message with the invitation.

You can add external users to the document through their email addresses. This sharing option works well when you need to share a document with people scattered throughout your organization.

Local File Synchronization

OneDrive for Business allows you to work with your files from anywhere if you have an internet connection, but what happens if you have no signal? The sync client saves a local copy of your files or folders to your computer, so you have access to important documents offline. Once you reconnect to the internet, your changes are uploaded to the cloud, and any new additions are downloaded to your computer.

Comprehensive Security

Your collaboration efforts may involve sensitive data, which often gets put at risk through inadvertent sharing, poor data management practices and other problems. OneDrive for Business incorporates several security features to limit the risk from remote connections and workplace collaboration.

Encryption at a disk and file level keeps data transmission secure. Network administrations control user access to files, so you only have access to the documents relevant to your position. Additionally, external file sharing or non-domain-joined devices may be blocked from accessing files.

Reliable Data Backup

Microsoft recommends that you use third-party backup for your Office 365 data. With Creativo’s Comprehensive Cloud Backup Solution, you’ll enjoy the flexibility of near-real-time backups that are accessible from anywhere. Set up automated daily or weekly backup schedules and easily restore data from any point in time – giving you the peace of mind that your organization can recover from any data loss.
