What is OneDrive

OneDrive is a personal library for storing and organising your academic documents. It allows you to work within the context of your study, with features such as collaboration within the student community.

Store your work documents and related files

You will have 2TB of space in the cloud with OneDrive. That means a lot of storage for your study documents.

All files that you store in OneDrive are private, BUT, you can decide to share them with nominated others by placing a file in the 'Shared with Everyone' folder, this will make it easier when working on projects with other students.

More information about OneDrive can be found on the Microsoft Office OneDrive webpage.

Note:

Please be aware that OneDrive access will close down 30 days after your student account is archived (usually 9 months after you last enrolment). Do not use OneDrive as the only location for your files and make sure you regularly sync your files to another backup location (see below).
