Before using OneDrive to send, store or share University information, review the regulated data storage matrix. Important: University employees must be careful to protect confidential or restricted data. If you'd like help with this process, contact the TSP for your college or department. If you have a personal cloud storage account already, you may want to move your files from that account into ODU's OneDrive for Business. Data generated as an ODU faculty or staff member should be stored in your faculty/staff OneDrive for Business, not in a student OneDrive for Business or a personal OneDrive account. Just make sure you pay attention to where you save your files. In fact, you might have a faculty/staff OneDrive, a student OneDrive AND a personal OneDrive, all of which can be attached to Microsoft Office on your computer simultaneously. Office 365 at ODU comes with 5TB of online storage in OneDrive for Business, which is different and separate from personal OneDrive accounts. We recommend you connect your ODU OneDrive to all Office apps activated with your ODU Office 365 account.

In most cases, OneDrive is automatically connected to Office apps by associating the app with your ODU Office 365 account. You can connect OneDrive to Office apps on any device, and access your files anywhere you have an internet connection. Start working on one device and easily switch to another device to continue working anywhere. OneDrive is a cloud file storage application that works seamlessly with Office on any device, making it easy to create, edit, store and share things like class assignments and projects between devices.
