OneDrive for business is provided by the University of all faculty, staff, and students.
OneDrive offers terabytes of space to all of our users.
It has a desktop folder component that looks and functions just like Dropbox.
All of your files and folders in OneDrive can be shared with any faculty, staff, or student.
One Drive can be used anywhere with no need to connect to campus (unlike Timmy/Sammy).

10. Questions!
4. How do you move large folders from Drop Box to OneDrive? The drag and drop should work if you are using the desktop version of One Drive for Business. There are some limitations, however – No files over 2gb and no more than 20,000 individual files. Since you would be transferring from one cloud service to another, you may need to go from Dropbox to your hard drive first.
5. If we are using it for the program, can students create a OneDrive folder and share it with us to create a program portfolio with their proficiencies? Can we organize our “shared with me folder?”
Yes, but you must have “Can Edit” Permissions.
6. Would it be easier to get a program account like so the three of us can manage it better?
Not exactly. This account would be a shared mailbox or and MEPF and would not have it’s own One Drive account. You would need to have someone designated to host X content and then they would need to share it manually with the rest of those who need access.
