Every student and member of staff at the University has 1TB of cloud storage on OneDrive and you will see this as a prominent storage space when you start using Windows 10 and the new version of Office.

You can access this now through a browser by visiting go.shu.ac.uk/Office365. If you’re asked to log in, enter your username* in the format username@hallam.shu.ac.uk and your normal University password. (* Your username is the code you use to log into your University account  – eg if you log in using the code xy9422 then input  xy9422@hallam.shu.ac.uk)

If you have a lot of files on your hard disk which you wish to copy to your OneDrive storage space before you move to Windows 10, it might take a while to complete.  Some people find it useful to leave it to run overnight

Access OneDrive once you use Windows 10

When you start using Windows 10, your OneDrive files will be automatically available from Office applications and via Windows Explorer.  This will allow you to save and access files in OneDrive in the same way that you currently access files stored on your network drives on any Windows 10 University Managed Desktop.  Anything stored there will also be available from personal and mobile devices.
