What is it?

  • 1TB of personal file space "in the cloud".

  • Can be used to share your files with others within and outside the University.

How do I get to it?

  • Upload, view and edit files using any web browser on any computer.  livealbany.onedrive.com 

  • Install the OneDrive app and the Microsoft Office apps on any mobile device.

How do I use it?

How do I share files or folders?

  • Use the web or the app, and click "Shared with me" to easily find docs shared with you.
