About this article

This article provides an overview of Microsoft's OneDrive for Business cloud storage service. It is intended for both students and employees.

What's OneDrive for Business?

Microsoft OneDrive for Business is an industrial-strength, business-class file storage and management service built on Microsoft's SharePoint technology. OneDrive for Business is in the cloud, a geeky way of saying that your files are stored off campus on a Microsoft file server that you can access via the Internet. OneDrive for Business is an important component of Microsoft's new vision for business productivity and collaboration, anchored by their web services: Office 365 and SharePoint Online. Every WSU student and employee has a OneDrive for Business.

IMPORTANT NOTE

"OneDrive for Business" and "OneDrive" are two, separate cloud storage apps.

"OneDrive for Business" is included in your Office 365 Suite provided to you by WSU and provides you with 1T of cloud storage space.
"OneDrive" is a personal cloud storage application that you need to setup on your own for your personal use if you wish to use it.

The easiest way to compare OneDrive for Business to a personal OneDrive account is that the Office 365 OneDrive for Business offers more features and is mainly used for professional organizations, whereas regular OneDrive is mainly for personal use and has less features. WSU does not support a Personal OneDrive account.

-Microsoft OneDrive for Business is our "cloud storage" solution at WSU, which is a fancy way of saying that you all have 1 [[TB]] of storage on off-campus servers owned by Microsoft. You can upload files from your laptop or tablet to your OneDrive for Business and work on those files directly using Microsoft Office applications. This is a great option for safeguarding your files if your devices should ever fail or need to be exchanged. By default, any file you upload to your OneDrive for Business cannot be accessed by any other user unless you decide to share it. Since you can now share files using OneDrive for Business, you should never store private data here [[Data_sensitivity_and_file_storage|(more on data security).]] OneDrive for Business is much more than just cloud storage and we encourage you to [[OneDrive for Business|learn more this powerful tool]].
