Aalto recommends |
The OneDrive for Business service offered by Aalto has better terms of use and is thus a more suitable choice for storing and sharing files than services taken in use personally (OneDrive, GoogleDrive, Dropbox).
Note! Despite of its name, OneDrive for Business is not the same service as OneDrive intended for consumers.
