We also realized that for the super important personal documents, you needed an extra layer of security and the ability to access them from anywhere, so in 2019 we launched Personal Vault. If you had a malicious attack or needed to recover accidentally deleted files, we had your back there too. With features like camera roll backup and PC folder backup, you didn’t have to worry if your personal device is damaged or lost because your files are protected in the cloud. Our first five years were a time of keeping up with rapid growth, especially as businesses increasingly moved their productivity and collaboration solutions to the cloud with Microsoft 365 (formerly Microsoft Office 365) and people began relying more on their mobile devices for managing everything from their personal photos to their work email and files.Īs the amount of content-both business and personal-stored online began to grow by leaps and bounds, we continued to work on ways to simplify how people manage their files and collaborate with others.įor life outside of the office, we introduced features that provide consumers with peace of mind. A little more than a year later, we added the ability for people to store and access photos and videos as well. Our story started in August 2007 when Microsoft first launched its cloud storage system to enable people to share and synchronize their files in the cloud.

We’d like to take a moment to thank you for using OneDrive, whether you’re tackling a big project at work, planning a family reunion, backing up important content to your new device, or connecting with friends and loved ones through photos and videos. Today, we’re celebrating the 15th anniversary of OneDrive.
