OneDrive for Business
Microsoft OneDrive for Business is an university-provided resource and therefore subject to all appropriate UL Lafayette operating policies and procedures. Consider legal, regulatory, and University policy requirements in all areas. More information is provided in our Data Classification Guidelines and Data Handling Guidelines.
OneDrive allows users to store, edit, and share files securely in the cloud giving you the ability to safely access your files and collaborate with others from anywhere, on any device. OneDrive should only be used for storing an individual’s personal work-related files, sharing them with individuals, and even working on documents with others at the same time. To store files that should remain after your UL Lafayette affiliation ends, please utilize your department's Network Share or Team.
