Microsoft OneDrive

SharePoint storage file

OneDrive is the Microsoft cloud service that connects you to all your files. It lets you store and protect your files, share them with others, and get to them from anywhere on all your devices.

Should you use OneDrive?

If you’re working on a file by yourself, save it to OneDrive. Your OneDrive files are private unless you share them with others, which is particularly useful if you haven’t created a team yet.
If you’re already working as a team, you should save your files where your team works - Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, etc.

Available to

Microsoft OneDrive is available for free to all current students and current full-time employees as part of the Microsoft 365 suite. All current students and full-time employees are allotted 250 GB in their respective Microsoft 365 accounts.

NOTE: Please keep in mind that your OneDrive will be available only as long as you are an employee or student. If you leave the university (resign, retire, do not register for classes, graduate, etc.) your Missouri State OneDrive goes away. Consequently, this is not an optimal location for storing personal files. Additionally, it is recommended to save critical work documents in shared platforms such as SharePoint or Microsoft Teams to ensure they remain accessible and are not deleted upon your departure from the university. For further details regarding access after leaving Missouri State University, please refer to Account and Access Lifecycle. Once you leave the university (resign, retire, do not register for classes, graduate, etc., you will have 90 days before OneDrive will no longer be available to you.
