OneDrive for Business

 

Mail Manager supports the filing and searching of messages located in OneDrive for Business without the need to use locally sync'd folders.

Note: Your OneDrive folders and files are private unless you share them with others. OneDrive is not designed as a replacement for a shared file system.
