Microsoft SharePoint Online for Business is a browser-based collaboration and document management platform that provides secure file storage and file sharing in the Microsoft 365 cloud for an organization. Similar to OneDrive for Business, SharePoint Online users can log on to their accounts using their business credentials and connect to all their files, edit, and share them. The primary benefit of SharePoint Online is that it is a collaboration tool. Users can create various Web services and then upload them to a SharePoint Online team location.
Local changes made on all devices are automatically synced so that others can access them securely.
Microsoft SharePoint Online is configured on the File Protect appliance using the Web UI and the CLI.
