====== Microsoft OneDrive for Business ======

**Home**: https://onedrive.live.com/about/en-us/business/

:!: OneDrive for Business is about $5 per month per user for 25GB of storage.

**Login and Configuration**: https://portal.office.com

**OneDrive for Business sync apps**: https://onedrive.live.com/about/en-us/download/

:!: The primary advantages to OneDrive for Business are probably 1) that it can be used on (RDS) Windows Servers with multiple users, and 2) it's tight integration with Microsoft Office.

<note warning>OneDrive is incompatible with roaming profiles.</note>

  - Open the ''OneDrive for Business'' app
    * If not previously configured, you will be prompted to enter a library URL
