File Sharing - Individual

We advise you to save your files to OneDrive if you don't plan on sharing them at all, if you plan to share files individually on a short terms basis, or if you can't identity a team site where your document belongs.

File Sharing - Group, Team, Department

Your university account provides you with access to Office 365 and its suite of applications, one of which is the Microsoft Teams application. Microsoft Teams is a chat-based workspace and a digital hub for teamwork and collaboration. It brings people, conversations and content together in one space. If you wish to share files on a medium to long term basis with one or more people, we would advise you to create a team to do so. A team is usually created per department, section, project team or other group of one or more people.
