What is OneDrive?
OneDrive is an online cloud storage system within Office 365 that allows students, staff, and faculty to securely store their documents and files. OneDrive allows users to collaborate and share files with classmates and colleagues, both internally and externally. OneDrive is unique in that it offers many security, sharing, and accessibility features for many document and file types.
What is OneDrive at Marshall intended for?
OneDrive is intended to be a self-managed, personal storage location where items are only available to the account holder unless they specifically share them out to either a) other Marshall OneDrive users; b) other Marshall OneDrive groups (Teams); c) they create a file or folder specific link where only the recipient(s) of the link can access the files; or d) share with the world.

How much storage will I have with OneDrive?
Marshall University’s OneDrive size is dependent on your classification at the university. Faculty/Staff receive a default 250GB and Students default at 100GB. Higher quotas are available upon request. There is a hard limit of 5TB that cannot be exceeded. Requests can be submitted through the IT Service Desk.
Is this a replacement for “V Drive”?
Yes, this is a replacement for the MUPFC (Marshall University Personal File Cabinet) V:\ drive share that was previously provided to all Marshall University students. This is not (at this current time) related to or meant to be a replacement to the Medix V:\ drive that is provided to MUSOM students.
