Who this comparison is for
File-Vault highlights
- One Graph app/connection shared by all apps (no per‑app secrets)
- Retention/hold mapping from a single policy UI
- Delta sync + reconciliation of moves/renames from SharePoint UI
Microsoft OneDrive/SharePoint highlights
- Team Sites, permissions, and strong admin tooling
- Versioning and Office web previews
Capability matrix
| Capability | File-Vault | Microsoft OneDrive/SharePoint | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unified picker for all Velaxe apps | Native | None | Per‑app Graph UI work otherwise |
| Predictable per‑object folders | Native | None | Consistent pathing Tickets/Deals/etc. |
| Retention & legal hold mapping | Native | Partial | SharePoint policies exist; cross‑app mapping via File-Vault |
| Expiring links + revoke (audited) | Native | Partial | Cross‑app audit & revoke UX centralized |
| DLP & antivirus gates on upload | Native | Partial | Add‑ons/E5 for DLP; File-Vault enforces per app |
| Delta sync & reconcile attachments | Native | Partial | Graph subscriptions + reconcile |
| Archive overflow to S3/R2 with signed access | Native | None | Hybrid storage routing |
| Cross‑app audit & CSV export | Native | None | Provider logs vs consolidated app/object logs |
- Focus is cross‑app orchestration vs. single‑app Graph integrations.
Total cost of ownership
File-Vault removes repeated Graph work and centralizes policies, reducing engineering/ops across multiple Velaxe apps while keeping files in SharePoint/OneDrive.
Assumptions
- 3–7 apps attach/share files

About File-Vault
File-Vault is the multi-provider storage hub for Velaxe. Connect Google Drive, OneDrive/SharePoint, Dropbox, Box and optional S3/R2 at the workspace level, then let every app upload, attach, preview and share through a unified picker and API.
Admins set link and retention policies, enable DLP and AV scanning, choose provider scopes, and review complete audit trails. Files stay in your selected drives using predictable folder structures while File-Vault keeps metadata, attachment links and permissions synchronized.
Built for reliability and compliance: chunked uploads, resumable sessions, expiring external links, delta sync, audit exports and Prometheus-friendly health metrics.
