In the world of Microsoft 365, both OneDrive and SharePoint serve as robust platforms for file storage and collaboration. Yet, understanding which one fits your specific needs can be challenging. This blog explores their key differences, practical use cases, and offers guidance to help you make the right choice. What Is OneDrive? OneDrive for Business functions as a user-specific cloud repository within the Microsoft 365 framework, optimized for individual file storage, synchronization, and personal document management. What Is SharePoint? SharePoint Online operates as a collaborative content management and intranet platform within Microsoft 365, engineered for structured data handling, enterprise-level document sharing, and workflow automation across teams and departments.8Views0likes0CommentsGuest accounts and groupchats
Hello everyone, I recently received a support request regarding adding a person with a guest account to a group chat. Unfortunately, Teams refused to add that account. Copilot explained that this is due to the restrictions guest accounts have when it comes to communicating within the tenant they are invited to. Apparently—and this is what I’d love for you to verify—guests are only able to communicate within channels (e.g., threads in a channel) and in 1:1 chats. After we deleted the guest account, we were able to add that person to the group chat. Are the following informations correct? Guest user in tenant: Added as a guest in your tenant’s Azure Active Directory Access: Teams channels, files, meetings Restriction: No regular group chats outside of Teams channels External user (federation): Remains in their own tenant, connected to yours through federation Access: Chats and calls like regular Teams users Advantage: Can be added to regular group chats Thank you for your help.

Hi everyone, i am currently implementing sensitivity labels for our org and this one thing is really holding me back. Previously, it was possible do create a word-document (or any file) in OneDrive, share it to an external gmail (or any other) address and let them access it after using an email OTP. Nice! I have just recently created a set labels and assigned them to me in Purview. Most labels, including the one that is assigned to docs by default, do not apply any encryption. A label existing on a document still seems to make sharing way harder/impossible in certain scenarios: Created a fresh gmail-address-->created a fresh word document with a default label (public, no sharing restrictions, no encryption)--> Shared said document to said gmail-address via Link --> opened link in private browser tab --> OTP-Verification happens --> Document opens up in browser, then IMMEDIATELY forwards me to our tenants login-page. There, the gmail address user obviously cant log in since he is not a guest and does not have an account. The fun part: You can (sometimes) use the browser "back" button to return to the document to read and edit. This... can't be intended, right? Research suggests to me that word for the web attempts to resolve the label, for which it has to access our tenant. It then fails since no tenant user is logged in and prompts me to do so. When i use a gmail address, create a personal MS account, invite this account into my tenant as a guest, accept the request and share to that user, the user can work with the doc just fine after completing his steps. But this is way to much work for IMO. Has anyone seen this issue? Did i misconfigure something? Has anyone found a solution or a reasonable workaround or are people just living with this loss of functionality? Do you think its just a bug and i should report it?Solved92Views0likes2CommentsUnlocking Creativity AI and Clipchamp – Use Cases & Step-by-Step Guide

Hi everyone, I’m exploring how tools like Microsoft Graph, Teams or Azure AI can support new models of community-driven ownership and identity management. I’ve come across a fascinating project called https://landdao.io/ that helps communities manage land access digitally through transparent, community-led decision-making. I’m curious, has anyone here tried building something similar with Microsoft 365 developer tools? Especially anything involving governance, identity, or smart contract integrations?Solved93Views0likes2CommentsMindmap in Teams - Please come to the party Microsoft.
We are looking for a Microsoft app for Mind Mapping. Similar to how Whiteboard is a standalone app as well as one that is integrated into Teams. Use Cases: Individual brainstorming for individual work Individuals brainstorming for team work Teams brainstorming for team work I notice that whiteboard continues to add more templates that are useful for team work but the lack of mind mapping function in Whiteboard is is glaring. I have added my vote to user voice for this but with the amount of votes there I doubt this request will make it onto the radar for consideration. I can see there are a number of 3rd party options but we would rather use something by Microsoft that is designed to be integrated and works well. We would even be willing to consider an in-built mind mapping feature anywhere else in M365 e.g. OneNote, Word etc. Has anybody encountered this feature elsewhere in M365 and I have just missed it? Thanks5.6KViews1like6CommentsHidden Group and Hidden Group Membership
Hi everyone! I have come across a requirement where the client would like to use an excel spreadsheet, a service account and application registration to manage group membership for a confidential group. They would like to create a group from which the members cannot leave, see other team members and cannot see the group itself. Now, I have the concept of the flow with me but for the life of me, I cannot get around to finding/configuring a group that meets the requirement. Have you guys come across this sort of scenario? Group Configuration: Users should not be able to view the group Users should not be able to view members of the group Users should not be able to leave the group Thanks in advance.947Views0likes4CommentsWindows Server 2022 or 2025 Data Centre edition- concurrent editing of Microsoft office documents
Does Windows Server 2022 or 2025 Data Centre edition provide real time collaboration or concurrent editing (through workspaces etc) by multiple users on Microsoft office documents hosted on it locally. So for the sole purpose of having concurrent editing feature of office documents, can Windows Server 2022 or 2025 Data Centre edition become an alternative to using Sharepoint server hosted locally or on premise.Solved206Views0likes2Comments
