OneDrive
Cloud file storage with device sync, link sharing and access control.
OneDrive is a user-focused cloud file storage platform that syncs files between devices and the cloud. It is commonly used as a primary place staff keep working documents alongside network file shares and corporate content stores.
Operational considerations include link sharing, sync conflicts, offline copies and retention gaps. Access controls, external sharing policies and endpoint protection determine whether business data is exposed or contained.

Where OneDrive fits
It connects to identity systems for authentication and to desktop and mobile via a sync client. It also exposes APIs and sharing links that integrate with collaboration tools and overlap with file servers, archives and backup solutions.
It must be considered as part of data residency, retention and egress controls, and in endpoint and backup strategies. Armstrong can assist with configuring access controls, tuning sharing policies and integrating the platform, while organisations remain responsible for backups and operational monitoring.
