Introduction

Unless you are completely ignorant of cloud technology, you must have heard of the term OneDrive. These days we also hear about OneDrive for Business (ODfB). Some people even use these terms synonymously, which is completely wrong. OneDrive for Business and OneDrive are two different services. It is true that these two terms are confusing as they sound almost the same. To get readers out of this confusion, this post will discuss the difference between Microsoft Office 365 OneDrive and OneDrive for Business. To know more about these two services, read the entire post.

Overview

First of all, we will learn the basic definitions of these two services offered by Microsoft.

OneDrive: OneDrive by Microsoft is a cloud-based storage service where users can save their files securely and share them with anyone. Earlier, it used to be known as SkyDrive. This account can be availed with an Outlook.com id or a Microsoft/Skype / Xbox Live account. Also, these files can be accessed from anywhere. This is mainly used for personal purposes and every user can decide by themselves how they want to use it.

OneDrive for Business: OneDrive for Business is also a cloud storage facility provided by Microsoft. Whatever works OneDrive does, can be done using OneDrive for Business too. This service available with Office 365 Business Plans and SharePoint. An OneDrive for Business account is managed by the organization that allows the employees to use this platform to collaboratively work and to share file with the colleagues. Using this ODfB account to save personal documents is not allowed.

So we can see that the main difference between these two products is their usage mode. While OneDrive is for personal use, OneDrive for Business is subscribed by different organizations and used mainly for business purposes. Now we will look into some other aspects that make these two services distinct from each other.

OneDrive and OneDrive for Business: Comparison between Two Cloud Facilities

Management: If management is concerned, OneDrive is under the authority of the account holder. From what to save to how to share, everything gets controlled by the owner themselves. For OneDrive for Business, it is the organization that determines your scope of function while using OneDrive for Business.
Storage: OneDrive offers 5 GB free storage to all its members. However, you can increase the size by subscribing to its various plans. For OneDrive for Business, it is 1 TB. Individual file size for OneDrive for Business is limited to 2 GB and total 20000 files can be synced into this. OneDrive users do not get the facility of drag and drop files to synchronize with OneDrive. However, it gets integrated with Office applications so that you can directly save your files from Office apps or open them when needed. On the contrary, SharePoint offers a location called Document Library where all documents get stored.
Sharing: To share files stored in OneDrive or ODfB, users can generate a link that will allow anyone to access the files anonymously or share the file with email id. Moreover, ODfB users do not need to know the email address of anyone for sharing if that person belongs to the same organization. All files personally saved in ODfB by someone remain private unless the uploader decides to share it with other members. Users of both the services can see who accesses the documents. For OneDrive users, there are only two options of “Edit” and “Read” that they can select for each document. On the other hand, ODfB users can generate customized Permission levels and include them in the present list.
Collaboration: For cloud storage users, this term means working together to achieve a common goal with minimum effort. Every collaborative work requires the work integrity to remain intact and not to have multiple copies by any means. Microsoft has provided all necessary measures to fulfill these requirements, thus making these a fantastic platform for real-time co-authoring. Both OneDrive and OneDrive for Business allow co-authoring documents in cloud. They can use Office applications to work on the same project at the same time.

Introduction

“I was having around 300GB of documents in my one domain of OneDrive tenant. Due to some official purpose, I had to copy them in an another ‘OneDrive for Business’ account, which was provided to me by my company board members. I contacted to support executives of different large firms but, they were not providing a direct solution for this. Meanwhile, I came know about SysTools OneDrive to OneDrive Migrator and communicated with one of its executives. They provided me a link of software i.e., OneDrive to OneDrive migration. I downloaded the software and trust me for a while it was surprising for me but, finally I got a direct way to fix the problem.”

Through this review page, I am going to make my enterprise blog readers familiar about this dedicated software to migrate files from OneDrive to OneDrive for business.

Quick Overview on OneDrive & OneDrive for Business

OneDrive and OneDrive for Business shares same name but in actual, they are totally different. It is so because one is the professional or business edition of another one. OneDrive is a cloud storage medium where enterprises can save their files and access them whenever required. Along with this, users can design it as a dashboard for rapidly switching to emails, address book, or create new file on web. For free, single O365 users are provided with 15GB of storage.

OneDrive for Business utilizes a platform named as SharePoint, which is a virtual environment where every team member can store, work, and share the files with others in a collaborated manner. It provides additional features to the administrator to work with documents like word, excel, etc. After having a look on benefits of OneDrive for Business, enterprises administrator thinks of copying files from OneDrive to OneDrive for business. In the next section, I am going to brief readers with the solution about which I was talking in the beginning.

Introduction to OneDrive to OneDrive Migration Tool

The software provides a simplified platform where users can migrate data from OneDrive to another OneDrive. Adobe PDF, photos, videos, audios, etc., all the files are moved without getting crashed in between processing. It provides the impersonation feature through which administrators can exhibit domain to domain data transferring in no time. What makes this tool unique is that it enables users to transfer document with all the appended permissions i.e., read and write, at the copying time.

How to Transfer Files from OneDrive to Another On The Same Computer?

The software works in a way that no two different machines are required to OneDrive to OneDrive for business migration. It implements data transferring on one PC itself without causing collision. Following steps will help in learning that how this process gets attempted just in 10 simple steps:

Automatically the default web browser of your system gets opened in which you have to enter the password of the same admin account. After this, click on Sign In to proceed with copying files from OneDrive to OneDrive for business.
When the authentication gets successful, you will be directed back to the software screen. Here you have to enter the administrator email id of destination O365 tenant and click Login.
Add the CSV file from a local machine that comprises of all user ids of source administrator account. For this, you can click on Import CSV and choose the file.
All the id’s get displayed on current screen where you can preview them. Click on Next to continue procedure of transferring files from OneDrive to another on the same computer.
Since there were no filters to be applied from my end so I skipped this feature. If you want to use then, first apply and set them as per the requirements.
Click on the Export button to actually begin the process by software.
Wait for a while till the process gets completed. When this will be finished, you will be shown ‘Status’ as Complete and then, you can check your documents in targeted tenant.

Observational Verdict

It could be the 10 on 10 but, the one con stopped it from deserving that. Rest all the features appended in software are amazing and useful at the administrator level. Great efforts are shown by the development and designing team of OneDrive to OneDrive Migration for Business tool.
