The university no longer provides new employees with S: drives (on-site personal storage). All faculty and staff have access to the OneDrive for Business feature in our Microsoft Office 365 environment.
What is OneDrive for Business?
OneDrive for Business is an Office 365 cloud storage service available to all students, faculty, and staff at UWRF. You can store, sync, share and collaborate on your personal work files.
OneDrive for Business offers the following benefits:
- 1 TB of secure storage space that is available from any computer or mobile device
- The ability to share documents with other UWRF faculty, staff, and students
- Files are backed-up in real-time if connected to the Internet
