OneDrive Repositories
Moodle repositories enable users to easily bring
content into Moodle from external sources
including local files, server files, YouTube,Wikimedia, and many others.
The Office 365 plugin set includes a
OneDrive repository plugin, making OneDrive a first-class repository in Moodle.
You can choose to either copy the resource to Moodle or leave the
resource on OneDrive and create a link to it (for dynamic content).

your local drive, then work on it offline, and it will synch to the cloud
(and Moodle) when you're online again.
