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).
