What is Microsoft OneDrive?
OneDrive for Business is the Microsoft cloud storage service that comes with Office 365 or SharePoint Server. With OneDrive, you can securely store all your files in one place, share them with others, and get to them from anywhere.
How is OneDrive secure?
Start with a strong password, add security info to your Microsoft account such as your phone number, an alternate email address and a security question and answer. Use two-step verification to help protect your account by requiring you to enter an extra security code whenever you sign in on a device that isn’t trusted. Regularly back up your OneDrive files.
Where does compliance come into the picture?
With SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business, Microsoft’s approach to security and compliance encompasses:
- Platform Security – The processes and infrastructure in our data centers to keep your data safe.
