OneDrive
Microsoft's consumer and business file-sync service — the storage layer behind SharePoint and Microsoft 365 Files.
Definition
OneDrive provides cloud file storage with desktop sync clients across Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. Business tenants share OneDrive's backing store with SharePoint document libraries. Microsoft Graph exposes files, folders, sharing links, and change-notification subscriptions, making OneDrive a common source for upload-triggered automation.
