We’ve all been there. You’re collaborating on a project with a co-worker or someone in another department, and you need to share documentation. So you send them an email and attach the files.
Stop right there! There’s a better way to do this. Enter OneDrive and Teams, the Microsoft cloud storage solutions for individuals and groups.
OneDrive and Teams both offer many benefits, the biggest being access to your files on any device with an Internet connection. But wait, there’s more!
OneDrive and Teams also allow you to share files with other users easily. It gets even easier and more seamless when those files are Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint documents. You can share the file with others, sending them an email with a link to the file, directly from those applications without having to open up Outlook and create a new email. Sharing files from the cloud can also prevent the sending of attachments back and forth as individuals make edits as OneDrive and Teams allow for collaborative editing of a file. This creates an additional benefit – saving your email storage for only emails rather than attachments. Your email account has far less storage available than OneDrive or Teams – 100 GB in email vs 5 TB in OneDrive (and more in Teams).
Next time you’re working with someone, share a file rather than attaching it!
