Microsoft One Drive

Up to 200 GB OF SECURE, FAST, CLOUD STORAGE

Microsoft OneDrive at TU Dublin is a cloud storage service included with Office365. OneDrive offers up to 200GB of storage where you can store, share, and sync your files.

OneDrive, as the name implies, is for ONE person; only you have access to any files stored in your OneDrive, unless you specifically share one or more files with one or more people. It is recommended that you share files from your OneDrive on a short-term basis only - it is not intended for a longer term share or collaboration. If you need to share longer-term, or with many others, another solution would suit better. Contact the IT Service Desk for advice by clicking on the following link Need IT Support?
