OneDrive for Business
OneDrive for Business is Curtin’s preferred and supported cloud file sharing tool.
-
OneDrive for Business allows you to:
- Temporarily store work-related files and access them anytime, anywhere in accordance with the Information Security and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Appropriate Use Policy;
- Temporarily store work-related files so that you can share them with University colleagues as well as external collaborators; and
- Store a limited number of personal files that relate to your employment and access them anytime, anywhere on any device.
OneDrive for Business is similar to your I:\ drive but with the added benefit of allowing you access when not on campus. You can view and edit your files in OneDrive for Business using Office Online, which provides an online version of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote.
Please note that OneDrive for Business is for temporary storage of Curtin files and does not replace J:\ drive or other corporate drives.
There are also practices that must be followed to ensure that Curtin information is kept secure and that we can meet our legal obligations. The resources below provide you with advice on the best way to get the most out of OneDrive for Business as well as meet our requirements.
