Secure File Sharing and Storage
Storing files and documents online makes it simple and secure for your team to share with others. Whether you want someone else to view one of your files or work on it in real time, Microsoft 365 has options.
Microsoft 365 provides several apps to store and share files securely: OneDrive, SharePoint, and Microsoft Teams. Although each app is different, they all work together to create a whole picture. WorkSmart can help implement the right solution and migrate your organization's files to the Microsoft cloud. With our managed IT services, you also get support and expert advice to ensure your team always has access to their files and that the data is protected.
Ensure Your Teams Can Use Your Data
Web host file sharing enables simplified access to internal files. You can give access to any team member and ensure seamless collaboration inside the office, between different locations, and on the go.
Microsoft 365 Apps for Hosted File Sharing and Storage

OneDrive for Business
This serves as each team member's personal file storage. Only they have access to the file or folder unless it is intentionally shared with someone. They manage its permissions, not your IT team.
SharePoint Online
This robust collaboration tool helps your team store, organize, and share information. Microsoft 365 makes it easy for small businesses to leverage it as online file storage for the organization. You can create folder structures like a traditional file server would offer, where you have departmental folders with varying levels of permissions (all controlled by your IT team).
Microsoft Teams
Microsoft Teams is a collaborative workspace. It brings OneDrive for Business and SharePoint together so you can access and share all your files in the same place you work with your team.

Hosted File Sharing and Storage FAQs
Are OneDrive and OneDrive for Business the Same Thing?
They may share a name, but they are not the same thing. OneDrive for Business is intended for business purposes. It’s built on different technology (it uses SharePoint Online), so it can provide more administration options and collaboration features.
Can I Share Large Files?
The file size limit is 250GB!
Can I Sync Files From the Cloud to My Computer?
The desktop app allows you to sync your files directly to the File Explorer on your computer. You can even opt to save files as “on-demand” so that you can see updates without having to download the file (and take up storage on your computer).
What Happens When Someone Deletes a File or Folder?
All deleted files go to a recycling bin, where you can recover them. Be careful! The default settings give you 30 days before the file is permanently deleted. You can add a layer of protection by backing up your online data.
Can I Use OneDrive for Business to Replace My Server?
Using the cloud for file storage is a great idea! Although OneDrive for Business serves as a personal repository (and not ideal for company-wide file sharing), your organization can move files from a dedicated server to Microsoft 365. We’re happy to help your organization plan around your needs.
Does WorkSmart Build SharePoint Intranets?
SharePoint Online allows businesses to create websites designed to help teams work together efficiently. We partner with SharePoint experts to build and maintain custom solutions like intranets.
