IT is providing everyone at the University of Reading with free 1TB cloud storage. Never lose your work files again!

What is it?

OneDrive for Business is a managed cloud storage that allows users to store and share files and folders online. This means that instead of that file sitting on your computer it is held on a server elsewhere, meaning your work is more secure and at less risk to cyber criminals. If someone gets access to your computer then those files are safe and secure on a server elsewhere, protected by Microsoft’s robust server system.

Where to get it

Simply login to Office 365 to gain access to OneDrive for Business:
