My slides from session "OneDrive for Business 101 - what it is for and what is not" from Office 365 - SharePoint Saturday Copenhagen 12th March 2016. Back to the basics of OneDrive for Business, why it was created, and where it is now and where it's might go. Interestingly the auditorium was quite busy and the audience had some good questions to debate on the subject which proved the confusion brought by the product suite.
