Use OneDrive To Sync And Backup Files To Your University Cloud
Click on this link to view a short three minute video on how to use OneDrive to sync and back up work files from your University issued Mac to your University Microsoft 365 account.
Things to consider
While you do have a good amount of space available to you, we recommend not mixing personal files with work files. Also, when syncing files to OneDrive, make sure to do the following:
- Refrain from using special characters in your file names
- Keep characters to letters, numbers, dashes ( - ), and underscores ( _ )
- Keep names short
- Too long of file name will prevent the file from syncing
- Keep length of file names around 20 characters
- Spaces before or after the file name or file extensions will prevent files from syncing
- Microsoft products and services do not know how to handle a leading space in a file name
- File extensions are what indicate the file type on certain files
- Some familiar extensions are .docx, .pptx, .xlsx, and .txt
