Introduction
Cloud storage is an Internet-based service that allows storage of files at offsite locations and access to those files from Internet-connected devices. Examples of popular cloud storage solutions include OneDrive, DropBox, Google Drive, and Box.
OneDrive is Microsoft's cloud storage solution. It provides online storage that can be accessed from nearly anywhere, and enables collaboration through file sharing with others.
OneDrive can be used to...
- Store files in a centralized, secure, easy-to-access online location (University accounts each have 1 T of online OneDrive space)
- Collaborate with other through file sharing
- Synchronize files across multiple devices so that files can be quickly acessed, even when not connected to the Internet (there is currently a sync limit of 20,000 files)
Note: OneDrive (personal) and OneDrive - Univerisyt of Wyoming are not the same services. Use UW's OneDrive for securely storing campus files and sharing them with co-workers.
