OneDrive is a reliable cloud storage solution for Uwindsor students, offering 1TB of free storage space to each user.

You can access your OneDrive account from anywhere, on any device, as long as you have an internet connection.

OneDrive integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Office, allowing you to create, edit, and share files with ease.

This integration also enables real-time collaboration, making it easy to work with classmates or colleagues on group projects.

The OneDrive app is available for both iOS and Android devices, giving you the flexibility to access your files on-the-go.

Flexibility and Accessibility

You can store up to 5TB of data in the cloud with UWindsor's OneDrive, which is a lot of space for your files. This is especially useful if you have a large number of files or projects that you need to access from anywhere.

Accessing your files is also a breeze, with the ability to access them using web browsers or mobile devices. You can even access files directly from Microsoft Office desktop applications, which is a big time-saver if you're working on documents, spreadsheets, or presentations.

Here are some key details about file storage and sharing:

  • Store up to 5TB of data in the cloud
  • 250GB maximum file size
  • HIPAA and FERPA compatible
  • Share files with UW users (a UW NetID is required)

Synchronizing files can be a bit tricky, especially if you're working from two locations like many employees are now.

External Sharing Disabled

External sharing is disabled on UW OneDrive for Business accounts, which means you won't be able to share files with individuals outside the University of Washington.

This restriction was implemented to minimize the risks associated with sharing sensitive information, such as HIPAA-regulated data, outside the university.

You can't share files with individuals who have a non-UW email address through OneDrive for Business.

If you need to share with external users, you can request a Microsoft Team or SharePoint Online site collection with external sharing enabled.
