This added layer of security is useful in the event that someone obtains access to your account or device. Users of OneDrive’s basic free and Standalone plans can save up to three files in their Personal Vault. They’re then protected with strong authentication or two-step identity verification, such as your fingerprint, face, PIN, or a code sent to you via email or SMS. With this feature, any file, photo, or video that you take can be automatically placed into a digital vault. Personal Vault is a protected area on OneDrive that’s perfect for users with sensitive documents. The feature is flexible, too: if you’re working with an online-only folder, you can still make the files within it available locally on your device. These documents can be accessed on OneDrive without having been downloaded to your device. With it, you can select which files are online only.

OneDrive’s Files On-Demand feature is well-loved by users looking to free up disk space. OneDrive’s integration with other Microsoft products also allows for real-time collaborative editing, either from the desktop applications or via the web.
