What is OneDrive for Business?

OneDrive for Business is a part of the Office 365 suite of applications. It comes with Office 365 and should already be installed on your computer. OneDrive for Business is similar to Dropbox or Google Drive; it provides a place in the cloud where you can store, share, and sync your files. Since these documents are saved to Heifer's cloud, they are protected in the event of a computer crash and can be accessed without the need for a VPN connection.

OneDrive for Business allows you to securely update and share your files from any device with OneDrive for Business installed or access to the Office365 site on the internet. You can even collaborate on Office documents with your Heifer team members, seeing updates and changes in real-time. Paired with Skype for Business and Office 365, you can now work on documents and discuss your changes whether you're at different desks, offices, or even countries.

Additional information on OneDrive for Business can be found on Microsoft's support site HERE . Click here for quick instructions on how to use OneDrive for Business .

NOTES:

  • OneDrive for Business is different from OneDrive, which is intended for personal storage separate from your workplace.
  • OneDrive for Business is meant to replace any existing third-party file sharing tools such as Dropbox, Box, or Google Drive. All files and folders existing with these services will need to be migrated to OneDrive for Business.

Important Notes Before You Begin

Your HeiferID

Your HeiferID is the term used for your Heifer User Name. Most should be familiar with this, as it is used to login to most Heifer services such as Corral and Office 365. F or example, Jacob Smith's HeiferID would be jsmith@heifer.org .

On some screens highlighted in this guide, Microsoft asks for your e-mail address to sign in. In most cases, your HeiferID ( username@heifer.org ) is what is being requested, unless noted otherwise. Note: Entering your e-mail address will not allow you to login .
