OneDrive+for+Business




 * OneDrive for Business** is one major component of Office 365 - it is Grand Erie's "cloud storage" solution where teachers can save up to 25GB of files (that's A LOT). This is the replacement for the SLOW h: drive synchronization used by many Grand Erie staff on netbooks or laptops. When you save files to OneDrive, you can access them anywhere, anytime, on any web-enabled device. You can upload one file at a time to OneDrive through the Office 365 website OR you can upload several files or folders at once by syncing your OneDrive for Business library to your device.


 * Syncing your OneDrive for Business library** to your device will create a copy of all your files on the hard drive of your device, which is accessible whether you have an internet connection or not. For information on syncing to your device, see the Ed Tech Guide under the "Windows in the Classroom" tab. Many teachers have started using OneDrive as a replacement for their h: drive since all files saved to OneDrive will exist on the Office 365 website AND on any devices that are synced with OneDrive. Once files are saved to OneDrive, they can be **SHARED** with others and any Microsoft files (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote) can be shared for co-authoring.
