OneDrive - Add a File

Description:

OneDrive is cloud storage that is Personal.  SharePoint is cloud storage for Teams.

OneDrive should only be used for small single temporary sharing.  If something needs to have longevity, be available to others for a while, a Team should be used.

You might use OneDrive to share a file or video to a person that is over 25MB because you can't send a file that size in an email.

You upload the file to OneDrive, and then copy a sharable link (you set the permissions) to share.
