It allows syncing of files across devices and the ability to share documents with other Queen’s users, who can even edit them at the same time without having to create multiple versions. That’s enough to hold a million pictures, for example. OneDrive for Business provides all Queen’s users with a terabyte of storage in a secure, web-based platform. “With OneDrive for Business, the university has spent a great deal of time developing a privacy risk assessment and a contract with Microsoft that helps us ensure that we retain ownership and protect the information that is put there.” “We know many people are storing institutional information on cloud services and, in many of those cases, they have personal agreements with the vendor that may never have been vetted for privacy and security and likely never really read,” says Mr. When people sign up individually with other cloud-based services, they enter into a personal agreement with the provider that may not provide the necessary protections for Queen’s information. It’s a secure service and can be used for all Queen’s files, instead of other cloud-based services like iCloud or Dropbox.” “It’s a tool that provides a huge storage space and enables easier collaboration. “We are really excited to be rolling out OneDrive for Business to the Queen's community, especially from a security and privacy perspective,” says Bo Wandschneider, Chief Information Officer and Associate Vice-Principal (Information Technology Services). OneDrive is part of Microsoft’s Office 365 cloud-based collaborative suite. It’s time to drop your Dropbox and park your work files on OneDrive for Business, the file storage and sharing service that is now available to all faculty, staff and students at Queen’s. ![]()
