OneDrive is the Microsoft cloud service that connects you to all your files across different devices. OneDrive is accessible to students, faculty, and staff.
For example, if a student is in their dorm working on a Word document or PowerPoint Slides, but has a busy schedule on campus and won't be back in their dorm until later. They can go to a computer lab on campus and use the university computers to continue working where they have left off. With Onedrive on your devices, you will not need to download any software or require USBs to transfer your data.
