In some cases, you might want a My Site to be ready beforehand, or pre-provisioned. The ODFB site is built on top of a SharePoint document library contained within the user’s My Site instance.Īn Office 365 administrator will do most of the ODFB site configuration from the SharePoint Online Admin Center and PowerShell.īy default, the first time a user browses to their Newsfeed, Site, or a OneDrive link, a My Site is automatically provisioned for them, which includes the the ODFB library/site. On the back end, each user’s OneDrive for Business (ODFB) site is hosted in the organization’s SharePoint Online tenant.

Also, the information on this page assumes your organization has an Office 365 Enterprise plan E1 – E5. When possible, I have included links to the web pages I have referenced. Most of it comes from Microsoft Support & TechNet articles, and some of it comes from the Microsoft community of consultants who take the time to blog about it. What I have done here is collect as much information as I can from various sources on the Internet. The problem is that it’s scattered all over the place, and since OneDrive for Business is layered on top of SharePoint Online, a lot of the information is included in the SharePoint documentation. There’s no lack of information on configuring an Office 365 tenant for OneDrive for Business. Some notes about deploying and managing OneDrive for Business in an enterprise environment.
