OneDrive Collaboration
Collaborative sharing involves strategically placing your content where it is easily accessible to your colleagues, rather than just convenient for you. Many organizations promote the use of SharePoint and Teams for collaborative tasks and file sharing. However, excessive sharing from OneDrive can limit access to the content to only those with whom it has been shared.
The OneDrive collaboration report identifies five key target audiences (% or nominal) that you can engage with to improve their understanding of sharing options and enhance their collaboration practices within OneDrive:
- **Healthy sharers** – Users who frequently share their collaborative content from SharePoint, within the OneDrive storage quota.
- **Heavy OneDrive sharers** – Users who share a significant amount of content from OneDrive, potentially approaching their storage limit.
- **People sharing in OneDrive only** – Users who exclusively share content from OneDrive.
- **People with high OneDrive storage** – Users with high usage of OneDrive storage.
- **People with no sharing** – Users who do not engage in file sharing from OneDrive.
To obtain reporting data for file sharing and collaboration, select a target audience and adjust the scroll bars to set the desired thresholds for data comparison:
- **Proportion of people sharing in OneDrive** – Set a threshold for the number of people who share collaboration content in OneDrive.
- **Used storage quota of total storage quota in OneDrive** – Set a threshold for the used storage quota of OneDrive.
*Note: The thresholds are configured to compare with your organization’s data. Refer to the following instructions for data comparison:
Calculation rule:
- **Proportion of people sharing in OneDrive**: OneDrive sharers / OneDrive and SharePoint sharers
- **Used storage quota of total storage quota in OneDrive**: Used OneDrive storage quota / total OneDrive storage quota
The table below lists the comparison method for collaborative sharing data:
| Target audience (% or nominal) | Comparison method |
|---|
| Healthy sharers | OneDrive sharers < configured threshold, used OneDrive storage quota < configured threshold |
| Heavy OneDrive sharers | OneDrive sharers > configured threshold |
| People with high OneDrive storage | Used OneDrive storage quota > configured threshold |
By selecting specific target audiences and setting thresholds, you can obtain tailored reporting visuals that provide valuable insights into your organization's collaboration trends and storage usage. Refer to the table below for more information.
| Target audience (% or nominal) | Reporting visual |
|---|
| Healthy sharers | Healthy sharers |
| Healthy sharers | People with balanced sharing in OneDrive trend |
| Heavy OneDrive sharers | Heavy OneDrive sharers |
| Heavy OneDrive sharers | People with heavy OneDrive sharing or maximum storage quota trend |
| People sharing in OneDrive only | People sharing in OneDrive only |
| People sharing in OneDrive only | People sharing in OneDrive only trend |
| People with high OneDrive storage | People with high OneDrive storage |
| People with high OneDrive storage | People with maximum storage quota trend |
| People with no sharing | People with no sharing |
| People with no sharing | People with no sharing trend |
Working Out Loud
Working out loud is a practice aimed at enhancing collaboration, knowledge sharing, and transparency within organizations. It encourages open communication and collaboration through channels rather than private chats.
The Working out loud report identifies four key target audiences (% or nominal) that you can engage with to enhance collaboration habits among your business users.
- **People with heavy private messages** – Users who send or receive a large volume of private or direct messages in Teams.
- **People with no messages** – Users who have no messages in Teams.
- **People messaging privately** **only** – Users who exclusively send or receive private or direct messages in Teams.
- **People working out loud** – Users who share their work with others in channels, fostering a culture of open communication and collaboration.
Set a threshold for several private messages in Teams to compare with your organization’s data by the instructions below:
Calculation rule: Private message count / total message count
| Target audience (% or nominal) | Comparison method |
|---|
| Working out loud | Percentage of private messages < configured threshold |
| People with heavy private messages | Percentage of private messages > configured threshold |
By selecting a target audience and adjusting the Private messages of total messages threshold, you can obtain tailored reporting visuals that provide valuable insights into messaging usage patterns and help build a collaborative and transparent organizational culture. Refer to the table below for more information.
| Target audience (% or nominal) | Reporting visual |
|---|
| People with heavy private messages | People with heavy private messages |
