FalconShare

Summary

Reliable collaborative network file storage at UWRF.

Body

All faculty and staff have access to the OneDrive for Business feature in our Microsoft Office 365 environment. The university no longer provides new employees with S: drives (on-site storage).

Reliable network file storage is a mission-critical service provided to enhance collaboration between employees and ensure preservation of university data.

    • can be securely shared with your colleagues without sharing your username and password
    • may be restorable to a previous version in the event they're overwritten or deleted (though not in all cases)
