4. We’re here
because we’re
CONFUSED

6. DON’T
WORRY
YOU
ARE NOT
ALONE

7. MANY OF US
SHARE
THIS FEELING

8. ONEDRIVE FOR
BUSINESS COMES
FROM A LONG LINE OF
CONFUSION

9. SO WE’RE
GOING TO
FIGURE IT OUT

10. WHAT IS IT?

11. WHAT DOES IT
DO?

12. WHEN SHOULD I
USE IT?

13. THE GOOD & BAD

14. LIMITATIONS

15. COMMON
MISTAKES

16. MIGRATING TO
ONEDRIVE FOR
BUSINESS

17. BEFORE WE BEGIN LET’S GO
BACK IN TIME

18. SO YOU
UNDERSTAND
THE HISTORY

19. THERE WAS
GROOVE
FIRST,

21. THEN,
SHAREPOINT
WORKSPACE

23. SKYDRIVE &
SKYDRIVE PRO

24. SO AFTER A LAWSUIT
IT WAS RENAMED

26. WHAT IS ONEDRIVE?

28. WORKS EVERYWHERE

29. IT’S PUBLIC
AND HAS
NOTHING
TO DO WITH
SHAREPOINT

30. ONEDRIVE
Public, does not use organization credentials to log in
Allows simple external sharing
Versioning of documents so you can revert
Integration with the Office Suite to work on your files
Co-authoring on Office documents

32. WHAT
IS IT?

33. IT’S ACTUALLY
A
BRAND

34. HUH?

35. IT’S USED TO REPRESENT
MULTIPLE FEATURES
OFFERED WITH SHAREPOINT

36. MY SITE
MY DOCUMENTS
OFFLINE SYNC

37. MY SITE
Personal Site Collections
owned by each user

38. MY DOCUMENTS
Document Library in each user’s My
Site. Confused as « OneDrive for
Business » in most cases because of
the offline sync

39. OFFLINE SYNC

40. OFFLINE SYNC
also works with every single
document library, everywhere

41. IS A SHAREPOINT
DOCUMENT LIBRARY
EVERY USER HAS AND
OWNS
AND ON TOP OF THAT, IT
ALLOWS THEM TO SYNC
ANY OTHER LIBRARY THEY
HAVE ACCESS TO
ONEDRIVE
FOR BUSINESS

42. IT’S ALL THE POWER
OF A SHAREPOINT
DOCUMENT LIBRARY

43. BUT IS IT
JUST FOR
OFFICE
365?

44. NAH, IT’S
NOT
JUST FOR
OFFICE 365.
WORKS
ON-PREMISES
TOO

45. BUT THERE ARE
DIFFERENCES

46. OFFICE 365 ONLY
External sharing works out of the box
5TB for each OneDrive for Business user
Already compliant with industry standards
Works with Delve

47. CURRENT LIMITATIONS
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2933738/en-us
Number of items that can be synced
Sync is by library not files and folders **Update
**2GB File Size Limit - Now 10GB
Character limitations in files and folders
And the Sync Tool is still maturing

48. SO WHEN DO
YOU USE IT?

49. DECISIONS, DECISIONS
SEE IT AS THE NEW
« MY DOCUMENTS »
FROM YOUR DESKTOP
FOR DOCUMENTS THAT DON’T
FIT IN ONE OF YOUR
ORGANIZATION’S TEAM SITE

50. COMMON MISTAKES
5,000 ITEM VIEW
THRESHOLD
20,000 ITEMS
SYNC LIMIT
THINKING FILE

Step 1 – Analyze your File Shares
Step 2 – Migrate your data

52. ANALYZE
• What is the total size of the file share data you
want to migrate?
• How many files are there in total?
• What are the largest file sizes?
• How deep are the folder structures nested?
• Is there any content that is not being used
anymore?
• What file types are there?

53. TOOLS TO HELP
ANALYZE
