Overview 

OneDrive is an internet-based storage platform. Similar to the idea of a hard drive that is stored online. Key features are listed below, as well as how to use OneDrive online and on your computer. 

Collaboration

• Through OneDrive on the Office 365 Portal you can share folders or files with other users.
• You can also edit any Office file (word, powerpoint, excel) online without having to install Office.
• If you share an Office file with someone, you can both edit the same document in real-time together.

Backup Storage

• The OneDrive policy implemented by IT will backup a majority of your user profile data on your computer.
• Once you save a document, the file will auto-sync to OneDrive, creating an instantaneous backup. (as long as you are connected to the internet)
• As long as you put your data into the OneDrive folder you will have a backup in the cloud in case your computer breaks.

Accessibility

• Data stored in the cloud is accessible and editable from any computer as long as it has a internet connection and your login credentials.
• Only you have access to the data you store on OneDrive, unless you share the data with someone else.
• This storage option is much easier than accessing the H drive, which requires a VPN connection and knowledge of mapping a network drive.
