What is OneDrive?


Basically it is your storage in the sky (or the cloud).
Office 365 Education users get 1TB of space in OneDrive for business.

With OneDrive you can do

  • create and share Microsoft Office files
  • upload all sorts of files
  • find files others have shared with you
  • download copies of files
