One Drive

What is OneDrive?

At it’s very simplest, OneDrive is our new, secure, and universally accessible storage location for all your work files.

However, OneDrive offers a lot more than just file storage! It’s an integral part of Office 365 and by using OneDrive, it also allows for:

  • Accessing your files from anywhere
  • Sharing files with others
  • Work on Office documents with others at the same time
  • In a word – FLEXIBILITY!

Once your files are in the OneDrive, you can access them from any computer or mobile device that has internet access. If you’re at a meeting across campus, at home, traveling for work – whatever the scenario – if you need to access your files, you can use either the Office 365 portal or the mobile app.

If you need a colleague to review a file, by using the “Share” feature, they can view and update the file in your OneDrive – their changes will automatically appear in the file. No need to email a file back and forth!

You also can be in the same file as your colleague and both make real time updates.

By using OneDrive to store your files, you gain so much flexibility and accessibility. To help you, the Enterprise Training Group provides both training opportunities and resources. Please visit the Office 365 website for information.
