One of the coolest features of cloud storage is how it integrates with your email client to make sharing files a breeze. OneDrive, for instance, integrates with Microsoft Outlook to enable easy sharing of OneDrive files that appear just like email attachments.

This feature provides a familiar sharing experience, but centralizes storage of attachments in OneDrive. You can configure sharing permissions on the files directly from within Outlook, making it easier to collaborate with others.

To avoid confusion, you can set the default behavior of Outlook to attach a link to the file instead of a copy, as explained in How to control default attachment state when you attach a cloud file in Outlook 2016. This way, you can send a link to the file instead of sending a copy, which can be a real time-saver.

Auto-labeling is a game-changer for keeping sensitive data secure. The system will automatically label any files or emails with sensitive data as Sensitive.

This feature is especially useful for businesses that handle confidential information. It can help prevent data breaches by identifying sensitive data at the source.

Auto-labeling also helps streamline your data management process. By automatically labeling sensitive data, you can quickly identify what needs extra attention and take steps to protect it.

In OneDrive 365, security and compliance are top-notch. Microsoft 365 uses sensitivity labels to classify files, emails, and SharePoint sites with sensitive information as either Sensitive or Restricted.

Items marked as Sensitive can be shared with people at UWM and people outside of UWM that have been added as a guest member to a Microsoft Team or Outlook Group.

Sensitivity labels are a game-changer for keeping confidential information safe. This feature ensures that restricted and confidential information is only shared with authorized individuals.

Here's a breakdown of how sensitivity labels work:

With sensitivity labels, you can rest assured that your sensitive information is protected and only accessible to those who need it.

OneDrive's Files Restore feature lets you restore files to any point over the past 30 days. This feature is a lifesaver if you need to recover a file that was deleted or modified by mistake.

To select the desired recovery time, OneDrive presents you with a histogram that shows file activity. This histogram helps you determine which recovered time meets your needs.

You can use this feature to quickly view your files' modification history, thanks to the histogram showing individual activity on a file. This can be especially useful if you need to keep track of changes made to a file.

From there, select the file history entry to which you want to restore, and all changes after that point will be rolled back. This ensures that your file is restored to a specific point in time.

OneDrive has a recycle bin that's similar to the one available in Windows.

Deleted files are moved to the recycle bin and kept for a designated time before being permanently deleted.

For work or school accounts, deleted files are purged after 93 days unless configured otherwise.

This means you have a good amount of time to recover files you might have accidentally deleted.
