Chapter 8. OneDrive for Business

In the early days, SharePoint was positioned as a great replacement for file shares. SharePoint addressed some important weaknesses of file shares: versioning, the recycle bin, check in/check out, history/auditing, the web interface, and custom metadata features, to name a few. Fast forward to the present, SharePoint and other content management system products have effectively replaced file shares in the collaboration space. Yet, file shares still remain very relevant to personal storage, although you would hardly qualify OneDrive for Business as only a file share (at least not one from 10 years ago). Officially defined as file-hosting products, OneDrive and OneDrive for Business still offer the convenience of operating system integration of file shares while adopting important features from the CMS world.

Note

Recently, Microsoft has also rolled out OneDrive for Office 365 groups, making the case for small group collaboration through OneDrive.
