Using OneDrive for a team of creatives – central storage rather than individual owners
dz1na A Teams/SharePoint approach is much more appropriate to a group of people. OneDrive is designed for a single user.
You have a choice of using the SharePoint storage built into Teams, or having a separately administered SharePoint site which is linked to your Team. You can have multiple Teams linked to external SharePoints.
SharePoint folders (document libraries) may be synced to your local computer just like OneDrive folders. You also get extra flexibility to split up files into different document libraries with different permission sets, including say the ability to make some files read-only to specific audiences.
What do you mean by "massive files"? SharePoint/OneDrive supports files up to 100GB but the suitability depends on how you work with those files.
Mike Williams hmm well thanks for the SharePoint suggestion, as to your comment about getting off forums and reading training material, that was a little condescending but I'll just say "no thank you". I'll go back to my organisation with this idea and see how we get on.
Just to chime in on this, Mike Williams has provided the correct course of action as far as Microsoft Technology goes. If you're using Creative Cloud, than that can be worked into Teams as well in a heap of creative and useful ways.
If you're looking at other options, Adobe Creative Cloud (and the others I believe) do have cloud storage attached to them. Have you looked into their shared library facility?
Steven Andrews thanks, I am bringing the suggestion to my organisation to pursue further. 🙂
