OneDrive vs. Onedrive business

I have an Office 365 account for email for my users.
I want to use OneDrive for backup purposes.

I do not want to use SharePoint.

I want to make sure employees cannot take the OneDrive account with them when they leave employment with us.

Do I use OneDrive or OneDrive Business?

If you have an Office 365 account - you need the OneDrive for Business, (which increased capacity to 1Tb yesterday) on all but the Hosted email (Exchange Online Plan 1) plan.

Alan,
I have a 365 account buy I thought OneDrive business only connects to SharePoint on the back end?
I do not want to use sharepoint, I just want backup storage.

Onedrive is basically a front-end for SharePoint, so if you don't want to use Sharepoint, then OneDrive in either disguise isn't for you.

Alan,
OK maybe I need to rephrase my question,
I want to use OneDrive Business just like Dropbox is used, I need it for folder backups.
I do not want to have to have to configure the backend servers to be able to receive the data (i.e. I do not want to configure sharepoint to get this to work).
Thanks,

Vasil,
How much configuration is there in the SP admin to get it to work like dropbox?
Thanks,
