Each month, the Division of IT hi-lights a service. This month, we feature a new service- File Collaboration.
The Division of IT has recently completed the move of WCU faculty/staff email to Office 365, a Microsoft cloud hosting solution. Now that your WCU email account is on Office 365, you have access to OneDrive, a file collaboration tool that provides your account unlimited storage for your files.
With multiple options for file storage, you may have questions about the best location to store or collaborate with your files. We are available to answer these questions, and we have provided some online information to help you determine the best solution for your needs.
