As part of Microsoft 365, all staff and students have access to Microsoft's cloud-based file storage service, OneDrive.

This service allows you to sync and share files between computers and mobile devices for easy access to your files from anywhere you have an internet connection. With OneDrive, you can also create Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations, or Excel Forms from within OneDrive. Working with files stored on OneDrive looks and feels exactly the same as working with the files stored locally on your computer, except the changes you make are instantly saved online and can be viewed and edited in real time by anyone you share the document with, allowing for collaboration with colleagues.

OneDrive gives you 500 GB of cloud storage with a maximum of 2GB file size.
