OneDrive alternative for white-label client file sharing

OneDrive personal comes with any Microsoft account, including a free tier with 5 GB of storage. OneDrive for Business is the version bundled with Microsoft 365 business plans, starting at $5 per user per month for Plan 1 (storage only) or $6 per user per month with Microsoft 365 Business Basic (which adds Teams and web Office apps). This article focuses on OneDrive for Business because it is the product agencies and professional teams use. The white-label limitation is the same on both: neither personal OneDrive nor any Microsoft 365 plan lets you deliver files to clients at your own custom domain under your brand.

Sharebrand is a white-label file sharing platform built for client-facing businesses. It delivers files to clients through your own custom domain with your logo and branding on every link. Clients never see Sharebrand's name. Unlike OneDrive for Business, which was built for internal collaboration inside the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, Sharebrand is built specifically for delivering files to external clients under your brand. Plans start at $29 per month with no per-user fees and five team seats included.

No. There is no Microsoft 365 or OneDrive plan that removes Microsoft branding from shared links and file delivery pages. Every link a client receives goes to a Microsoft-branded page at a Microsoft URL. This is true on OneDrive Plan 1, Business Basic, Business Standard, and Enterprise. White-label file delivery does not exist in the OneDrive product at any price.

No. OneDrive has no option to deliver shared files at your own custom domain. Shared links always resolve to Microsoft URLs. Sharebrand supports full custom domain delivery on every plan, including Starter at $29 per month.

This is where OneDrive for Business breaks down for mixed client bases. Clients without Microsoft accounts may be prompted to create one, limited to a degraded view-only experience, or blocked from certain sharing configurations depending on admin settings. The experience is inconsistent and reflects Microsoft's account requirements, not a professional delivery experience you have designed. With Sharebrand, clients access their portal at your domain with no Microsoft account, no Google account, and no Sharebrand account required.

Yes, and this is the most common setup. Teams use Microsoft 365 for internal email, Office documents, Teams meetings, and OneDrive storage. They use Sharebrand for all external client-facing file delivery. A five-person team on Microsoft 365 Business Basic ($30/month) plus Sharebrand Starter ($29/month) has a complete internal and client-facing setup for $59 per month total.

Yes. Sharebrand has a built-in file payment gate. You can charge for individual file downloads or entire folders, and clients pay before downloading. OneDrive has no equivalent. There is no way to monetise file delivery directly through OneDrive on any plan.

OneDrive for Business charges per user on all plans. OneDrive Plan 1 is $5 per user per month for storage only. Microsoft 365 Business Basic is $6 per user per month with Teams and web Office apps. Business Standard is $12.50 per user per month with desktop Office apps. Sharebrand charges a flat monthly rate: $29 for Starter (up to five seats) and $59 for Pro (up to ten seats). Adding team members within your Sharebrand tier does not increase the bill.

Each client on Sharebrand has a dedicated portal at your domain, for example clients.yourstudio.com/acme-corp. The portal shows your logo, your colours, and only the files relevant to that client. Clients log in, see their current and previous project files, and download what they need — all under your brand. OneDrive has no equivalent. Shared OneDrive links are not persistent branded portals. They are Microsoft-hosted links to files in your Microsoft account.

Yes. The white-label reseller plan lets you run a fully branded file sharing platform under your own name. Your brand replaces Sharebrand's entirely. You set the pricing, connect your own Stripe account, and keep the revenue. Microsoft has no reseller or white-label program for OneDrive or Microsoft 365.

Yes. All Sharebrand plans include a 14-day free trial with full Pro access. No credit card required. You can set up your custom domain, add your branding, and send your first branded client link before paying anything.
