Cloud Storage for Business London

Cloud storage services (like SharePoint and OneDrive) are where your live files are kept and worked on day to day. Cloud backup is a separate, versioned copy kept purely for recovery if files are lost, corrupted or hit by ransomware. Most businesses need both, not one instead of the other.

Business cloud storage keeps your files on secure, replicated servers in professional data centres rather than on a physical server in your office. This means files are protected from local hardware failure, fire, or theft. Leading platforms like SharePoint and OneDrive also provide automatic versioning and ransomware recovery.

OneDrive is personal cloud storage for individual users within Microsoft 365. SharePoint is team-based document storage designed for collaboration and departmental file sharing. A NAS (Network Attached Storage) drive is local hardware in your office. For most businesses, SharePoint replaces the file server and OneDrive replaces the local drive, with cloud resilience built in.

Enterprise cloud storage from Microsoft, Google, or AWS uses AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS in transit, is stored in ISO 27001-certified data centres, and supports granular access controls. With proper permission management and MFA enabled, it meets GDPR and most industry compliance requirements.

Yes. Speedster IT handles the full migration, auditing your existing folder structure, mapping permissions, migrating data to SharePoint or OneDrive, and decommissioning the old server. We test thoroughly before cutover and provide staff training on the new system.

Every Microsoft 365 Business user gets 1 TB of OneDrive storage. SharePoint storage for your organisation starts at 1 TB and increases by 10 GB per licensed user. For most SMEs this is effectively unlimited. Additional storage can be purchased if needed.
