How to back up files to OneDrive (part of Office 365 for Education)

Active Stout users have access to OneDrive as part of Office365 for Education. OneDrive is a cloud-based solution that allows users to access files from anywhere (even mobile devices). Students have 20 GB of storage available while actively attending Stout. OneDrive can be used in the following ways:

  1. Upload files via the OneDrive web app (for Windows and Mac users)
  2. OneDrive for Business: Sync OneDrive for Education (Business) on a Windows-based computer
