Cloud Storage: OneDrive

The term "cloud" in this sense effectively refers to online storage that is managed by companies that you have to register a user account with, and can then begin to upload your data into your own "private" space. OneDrive is one such offering, and it is managed by Microsoft.

This page is here to provide a guide for the OneDrive software, as this enables automatic synchronization of files and folders between your Mac and OneDrive cloud storage.

 

Licensing Information

As an active student or employee, your Sheridan user account has a Microsoft OneDrive account provisioned already, with 1TB of cloud storage space.
