If you’ve been hearing the buzz about cloud storage and are curious to learn more, ITS has a new video series available (shortcut URL: wichita.edu/onedrive). Learn how to get started with OneDrive, your personal cloud storage location at WSU. In the video series, you will learn how to access your OneDrive, upload files, share files, collaborate and more.

Students will also be able to access the video series, so if you are encouraging OneDrive use in your classes, the series would be an excellent resource to share with students.

Interested in learning about additional cloud platforms? More information about all the cloud storage options at WSU can be found from ITS Resources (shortcut URL: wichita.edu/cloud).
