Description
OneDrive can be added as a local folder or drive so users can save files to this locally to OneDrive. Then a link can be added to the OneDriver folder which links it to a SharePoint folder. Finally, Statistica Report files, and any other Statistica file, can be saved to the local SharePoint folder and automatically linked to the SharePoint in the cloud, so these files can be shared with others.
