Summary
Microsoft OneDrive is our "cloud storage" solution with 1 TB of storage. You can upload files from your WSU desktop or laptop to your OneDrive and work on those files directly using Microsoft Office applications. This is a great option for safeguarding your files if your device(s) should ever fail or need to be exchanged. By default, any file you upload to your OneDrive cannot be accessed by any other user unless you have shared it with them.
