DEMO: Activity Report

  • Can define a data range to search all activities
  • Can filter on action (ex. how many files have been shared during the timeframe)
  • Context about the action is displayed to the right of the list of content: IDs, who it was shared with, date/time, etc.
    • Service is capturing this data and this is the first effort to exposing that
    • Great tool for investigation and understanding
    • Not a tool yet for measuring the adoption of OneDrive for business

    QUESTION: How do you distinguish when to use SharePoint and when to use OneDrive for Business?

    - Document Libraries are for more formal collaboration scenarios where additional requirements are needed
    - OneDrive is more about individual ownership - DLP capabilities may be able to warn people/give guidance when certain types of content should be stored on OneDrive and when it should be stored in SharePoint
    - SUGGESTION: some sort of integration between OneDrive for Business and SharePoint (a publish or share perhaps)

    Enjoy.
