Microsoft 365 Reports in the admin center - OneDrive activity

The Microsoft 365 Reports dashboard shows you the activity overview across the products in your organization. It lets you drill in to individual product level reports to give you more granular insight about the activities within each product. Check out the Reports overview article.

For example, you can understand the activity of every user licensed to use OneDrive by looking at their interaction with files on OneDrive. It also helps you to understand the level of collaboration going on by looking at the number of files shared.

How do I get to the OneDrive Activity report?

1. In the admin center, go to the Reports > Usage page.
2. From the dashboard homepage, select the OneDrive button in the left navigation.

Interpret the OneDrive activity report

You can view the activities in the OneDrive report by choosing the Activity tab.

Select Choose columns to add or remove columns from the report.

You can also export the report data into an Excel .csv file by selecting the Export link. This exports data of all users and enables you to do simple sorting and filtering for further analysis.

The OneDrive activity report can be viewed for trends over the last 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, or 180 days. However, if you select a particular day in the report, the table will show data for up to 28 days from the current date (not the date the report was generated).
