FalconShare

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.

Benefits

    • 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)
