Switch to OneDrive from Box
OneDrive for work or school is included with Microsoft 365, so you can access, upload, and share your files from anywhere you use Office—on your desktop, the web, and your mobile devices. No need to download and install extra software, or to leave your Office app to log in to a third-party web service.
Just look for OneDrive – [your company name].
