OneDrive

Introduction

Microsoft OneDrive is a place for you to create, store, and organize personal files and drafts. You can share content from your OneDrive with others to collaborate on things like Word documents or Excel workbooks. 

The Microsoft OneDrive service is a secure, highly available enterprise-scale data "storage" solution available to departments and individual faculty, students, and staff.
