What is OneDrive?

 

OneDrive is Microsoft's cloud-based file hosting service that you can use to access your files from anywhere. You can access the files yourself or share them with others. Unlike personal OneDrives which give you 5GB of space, your university OneDrive has 1TB of storage. It gives you a simple way to store, sync and share all kind of files with other people and devices on the web.

You can access your OneDrive from any PC on campus, add it to your home computer and mobile devices, as well as access it through a web browser.

When you log in you’ll need to use your Microsoft Office 365 ID which is your username with ‘@live.rhul.ac.uk’ added at the end (e.g. abcd123@live.rhul.ac.uk). Your email account and Campus Connect are both also accessed using your Microsoft Office 365 ID. The password is your standard College password.

We recommend that you primarily use the Y: drive for your university work, as it is backed up continuously.
