I've been studying up on One Drive and I see why Folder Redirect is considered antiquated technology. Besides the ability to access files and folders from anywhere, One Drive has features such as collaboration and even version history. Version history basically allows you to go back to a previous version of a document before any editing was done.
There's also things like safe sharing where a password is required. You can also set an expiration date for the share.
I'm just scratching the surface. More to come....
