OneDrive at Syracuse University

OneDrive is a Microsoft cloud storage service that connects you to all your files. It the default storage location for personal files at SU.  Saving to OneDrive on an SU managed machine is as simple as saving to Documents or Desktop. OneDrive lets you store and protect your files, share them with others, and access them from anywhere on all your devices. When you use OneDrive with an account provided by Syracuse University, it is good to note that it's sometimes called "OneDrive for work or school."

Additionally, it used to be known as "OneDrive for Business," so you may still see it called that in places throughout Answers.
