OneDrive for Business provides online storage space that can be accessed through a web browser or an application that you can install on your Windows PC, iPhone, MAC or Android device. The storage capacity is 1 TB.

Recommended use of OneDrive for Business

OneDrive lends itself for storage space for the majority of your files. Its extensive storage capacity lets you store large amounts of data. You should keep in mind, however, that OneDrive does not create backups of the files that you store there, nor is it possible to recover files you accidentally delete.

Never store sensitive or confidential information in the service, such as personal data, banking information or information covered by business secrecy. You should also never store valuable information solely in OneDrive. For storing confidential and valuable data, use your personal \\halla\home\ folder, for example.
