Overview of OneDrive is a hands‑on, one‑hour course designed to help users confidently store, manage, and share files using OneDrive for Business. Participants begin with an overview of OneDrive’s role within Microsoft 365, including when to use OneDrive versus Teams or SharePoint, where files are stored, and how organizational sharing policies affect collaboration.
The course covers how to access OneDrive from multiple locations, including Office.com, desktop applications, File Explorer, mobile devices, and Office apps. Learners practice uploading and creating files, saving directly from Office applications, syncing files for offline access, and understanding features such as AutoSave, version history, file recovery, and file information details. Emphasis is placed on recognizing where files live and how to distinguish OneDrive files from Teams or SharePoint content.
Participants also learn best practices for sharing files and folders using links or direct email, managing permissions, stopping sharing, and collaborating through real‑time co‑authoring. Additional topics include working with shared files, using OneDrive within Teams, uploading files from email attachments, managing files from the desktop client, and understanding proper etiquette for secure and effective sharing. By the end of the session, users are equipped to use OneDrive as a reliable, secure, and collaborative file management solution.
