Working from home has been an interesting transition and a great learning experience. During this time, I learned more about the great services Texas State University has available to all students, faculty, and staff – for free. Microsoft OneDrive is one of those services I want to share with you.
Listen to a recording of this post:
What is OneDrive?
It is a file storage tool located in the cloud. OneDrive is the place where you can do everything you need to for work and school. I’ve found that it is convenient and a terrific way to upload, access, sync, collaborate, and easily share files. It is so convenient and can be accessed on all your devices like laptops, cell phones, tablets, or desktops. The best part of using OneDrive, for me, is that by saving to the cloud space can be freed up on my devices.
Examples of what you can store in OneDrive:
- Word documents and files
- PowerPoint files
- Excel spreadsheets
- Photos

The first way is through your computer desktop and the other is through Microsoft Office 365 online using your mobile devices.
