About OneDrive
OneDrive is Microsoft's cloud storage service, deeply integrated into Windows and Microsoft 365. If your team uses Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, OneDrive provides seamless file storage and collaboration.
The personal vault feature adds extra security for sensitive files with two-factor authentication. Files On-Demand saves local storage by only downloading files when you open them. Version history lets you restore previous versions of any file.
For Microsoft 365 subscribers, OneDrive is included with 1TB of storage per user. This makes it excellent value if you already pay for Microsoft 365. The deep Windows integration means it feels like a native part of the operating system.
