Benefits of using OneDrive for Business:

  • Each customer has 1TB of allotted space to use, which is equivalent to over one million Word documents.

  • All of your files are securely stored on Microsoft's cloud service.

  • In the event that your laptop gets lost/stolen or crashes, all of your important files are safely backed up and can be retrieved.

  • OneDrive for Business allows you to access your files from any device.

  • OneDrive for Business offers versioning of your files. If you update (or delete) a file and then realize you need to recover the previous version, you can "roll back" your documents in time.

  • OneDrive for Business allows you to easily share your files with anyone at SHU. Instead of sending an email with a dozen file attachments, you can create and share a link to your OneDrive instead.

  • No labels
