What license (if any) is needed for OneDrive in NonProfits
So I'm sure this is a very newbie question, but what license is required to allow a user access to OneDrive?
Situation: I'm working with a non-profit in California, and while I've used Office 365 on a personal level, I've never had to really run in it a professional environment. The last IT guy was let go because of numerous problems, and I got thrown into the role in the interim while the charity revamps itself. To give a user access to just OneDrive, do they need to have a Microsoft 365 Business basic license assigned to them, or can I just create the user and leave them as unlicensed?

Hi, concerning the access to OneDrive for non-profit organizations.
To use OneDrive in a non-profit organization, you can choose from a range of Microsoft 365 Nonprofit plans that offer different features and pricing options.
The Microsoft 365 Business Basic (Nonprofit Staff Pricing) plan is free for up to 300 users and includes 1 TB of cloud file storage, business-class email, and web and mobile versions of Microsoft 365 apps.
According to the Ultimate Guide to Microsoft 365 for Charities and Nonprofits, eligible nonprofit organizations can access OneDrive as part of the Microsoft 365 for Nonprofits program at a discounted price.
It is important to note that Microsoft provides grants and discounts for eligible nonprofit organizations, including cloud services such as Microsoft 365, Azure and Dynamics 365, Surface hardware, on-premises software, and digital skilling.
Please note that not every program may be available in every country.
