OneDrive for Business and Web Apps
Microsoft OneDrive for Business is a personal library intended for storing and organizing your work documents. It is automatically included within your WSU Microsoft Office 365 account underneath the OneDrive link. This is a service that allows you to create, share, edit, and back up your Office documents and other files. If you already use a personal OneDrive, there are a few differences. As an integral part of Office 365 or SharePoint Server 2013, OneDrive for Business lets you work within the context of your organization (WSU), with features such as direct access to WSU's address book.
Note: OneDrive for Business is different from OneDrive, which is intended for personal storage separate from your workplace. OneDrive for Business is also different from your team site, which is intended for storing team or project-related documents.
