Personal and synchronised files.

WHAT IT PROVIDES

Personal file storage per user Synchronisation to devices Sharing with others, inside and outside the organisation Version history

WHAT SYNCHRONISATION MEANS

Files kept identical between the service and devices.

WHAT IT IS NOT

A backup.

WHY

A deletion synchronises, as does a corruption or an encryption by malicious software.

WHAT PROTECTION EXISTS

Version history, and a retention period for deleted items.

WHAT TO ESTABLISH

How far back versions go, and whether that is sufficient.

WHAT FILES ON DEMAND PROVIDES

Files visible without occupying local storage, downloaded when opened.

WHY THAT MATTERS

Devices with limited storage, and connections where downloading everything is costly.

WHAT TO CONFIGURE

Known folder redirection, so documents and desktop are stored in the service.

WHY

It protects against device loss without anyone remembering to save anywhere particular.

WHAT TO REVIEW

Sharing links, particularly those accessible to anyone with the link.

WHAT TO RESTRICT

External sharing, to what your organisation actually requires.
