What is OneDrive?
Keep Your Files With You
OneDrive allows you access important files across a variety of devices - simply sign into your account. Never forget a file again!
Perfect for Collaboration
You can easily share files with other OneDrive users. Privacy settings allow you to determine which users can edit your files, and which users can only view them.
Familiar Tools
Because OneDrive is a Microsoft Office product, it gives you access to popular Office tools (such as Word, Excel, and Powerpoint). You can also organize your files stored on OneDrive with folders.
Offline Access
OneDrive has an offline mode so that you can continue to work on your documents, even without an internet connection.
Back Up Your Work
With OneDrive, you can store your files online. You can also easily transfer files between devices by downloading them from your account.
File Archive
OneDrive keeps an archive of the edits made to each file, so if an incorrect edit is made, the file can quickly be restored to an earlier version. You can even set up approval processes for documents that need to undergo several reviews.

Get the App
OneDrive is useful because it stores your files online - making your files accessable from any device with a web browser. If you have an iPhone, or an Android/Windows phone, you can install the OneDrive app. You'll never be caught without your files again!
Make/Upload a File
Once you've signed in, you can either create a new file, or upload an existing one from your device. You can create Word documents, Excel workbooks, PowerPoint presentations, OneNote notebooks, or Excel surveys. Learn more here.
