At first glance, it seems OneDrive for Business may be a return to the file share days, with folders and files located on a server somewhere. In reality, it's a powerful enterprise content management tool with a robust list of features, including unlimited cloud storage per user. In this session, you'll learn about the features of OneDrive for Business and best practices for including it in your information management toolbox. You'll discuss how it fits into your SharePoint on premise and cloud roadmap, what content to put where, and how to migrate data from a file share or competitive platform into OneDrive for Business.

20. Provision OD4B
• Populate data to OD4B for the first time
• Typical sources
File shares (don’t do this)
Personal hard drives
Dropbox / Box / google drive
SharePoint / MySites
• Migration options
OD4B Sync tool (don’t do this)
3rd party tool
Fast Track migration from file shares coming soon
Fast Track migration from google drives coming soon
Roll out OD4B
21. Protect Your Data
• Deploy Data Loss Prevention (part of the Office 365 Compliance
Center)
• Limit file sync to domain joined PCs
• Scan for sensitive information, such as SSN and credit card numbers
• Limit external sharing
• Information Rights Management (part of Azure Rights
Management)
• Helps secure your information by encrypting it and applying an
intelligent policy so that only specified internal and/or external
people can “act” on your information
Governance
and
Compliance
24. What should you do with the data?
• After an employee leaves, what do you do with their
OD4B data?
• OD4B data is deleted after 30 days
• If the Manager field is populated for the deleted
account access to the site is granted to the manager.
• If the Manager field isn’t populated for the user account
and a secondary owner was configured in Setup My
Sites under the User Profile section of the SharePoint
admin center, access to the site is granted to the user.
• But, you can only move content off of the OD4B using a third
party tool
• Move to another OD4B, a SharePoint site, file share, or
other archive location

Departure
25. In Summary
• OD4B is a great way to get started with the cloud
• It is a huge area of investment for Microsoft
• Consider the lifecycle of an employee, plan accordingly, and
put policies into place
• Start with a pilot – can restrict access by using audiences
• Disable offline sync until NextGen sync tool is ready
• Conduct a campaign around the high value scenarios to drive
adoption
