Can I use OneDrive as a data room?

You can share files from OneDrive, but it is general cloud storage, not a virtual data room. It has no tamper-evident audit trail, no dynamic per-viewer watermarking, no NDA gating and no control over where data is stored. ShareAndGo is a purpose-built VDR with all of those, plus Australian data residency.

Is ShareAndGo a good alternative to OneDrive for sharing sensitive documents?

Yes. For confidential document sharing during due diligence, tax audits or a raise, ShareAndGo gives you a controlled, audited room: per-folder access groups, view-only and no-download modes, link expiry, and a full exportable audit trail, rather than a shared folder link.

Where is my data stored?

All ShareAndGo documents are stored and processed in Sydney (GCP australia-southeast1) and never leave Australian infrastructure. OneDrive data residency depends on your Microsoft 365 tenant configuration and is not guaranteed to stay onshore.

How does pricing compare?

OneDrive is bundled with Microsoft 365 per-user licences. ShareAndGo is flat AUD pricing with a free-forever Personal tier, Professional at $59/month, and external recipients always free, with no per-recipient fees.

ShareAndGo vs OneDrive

OneDrive is great for storing and syncing your own files. When you need to share confidential documents with outside parties under control and audit, you need a real data room: audit trails, watermarking, link expiry, NDA gating and Australian data residency.
