The Texas State University workplace is becoming a hybrid of on-site and off-site employees. Finding a secure location to sync your files is not only essential but provides the flexibility of working from anywhere. Staying connected to all your important work files is now easier than ever with Microsoft’s OneDrive Sync.
Listen to a recording of this post:
OneDrive Sync is a Microsoft tool that allows you to seamlessly sync important work-related desktop documents, files, and pictures across all your university-owned Windows devices. In the past, syncing files in these locations was not possible.
Enabling OneDrive Sync also helps protect synchronized files from things like hardware failures and malicious ransomware attacks where your data is typically inaccessible.
OneDrive Sync is now available to Texas State faculty, staff, and student employees to use with university-owned Windows computers. Please note that OneDrive Sync is not offered for personal computers or shared computers in labs, classrooms, or conference rooms.
Windows users will need to enable OneDrive Sync on each university-owned device to begin syncing work-related documents, files, folders, and photos on your desktop.
When your documents, files, or photos are synced, a copy is automatically moved into the cloud. Any documents deleted from your computer will also be deleted from OneDrive and vice versa. OneDrive Sync helps reduce potential data loss from cyber threats and makes recovering your data simple.
