Instructors can use OneDrive for Business to:
201 Old Main, University Park, Pennsylvania 16802; 814-865-4700; Contact Us. Penn State is moving away from Box storage to Microsoft Office 365. Mover does not delete your data. Instead, Mover takes it from one place and copies it to another. You don’t have to do anything — the migration process will be run by the Box Migration team. Once migrated, your data will appear in a Box Migration Data folder.
store course- or work-related files.
share and work together on documents with students (i.e., note taking, peer reviews, or instructor feedback).
share and work together on documents with internal (Penn State Office 365 users) or external (non-Penn State Office 365 users) colleagues (i.e., projects, research, or events).
Departments or Units can use OneDrive for Business to:
provide employees a place to store and share work-related files.
allow employees to work together on documents with internal and external colleagues (i.e., collaborative projects or meeting notes).
We are excited to announce that PSU employees will be migrating from the local P Drive to Microsoft's Cloud Storage: OneDrive and Teams. Not only will storage availability dramatically increase for each employee, but convenience and collaboration features will likely change the way that we all work together!

- OneDrive is your new 'personal file storage system'. It will replace your “P” drive. By default, files you place on your OneDrive cannot be viewed or changed by anyone else. However, you can choose to share individual files or entire folders with others if you want.
- Your OneDrive files can live exclusively in the cloud. You can also use the OneDrive client (available for PC, Mac, and mobile devices) to keep copies of some or all of your OneDrive files locally. The OneDrive client keeps track of everything and makes sure any changes you make to one copy of a file are passed around to your other device(s) if needed.
- While your “P” drive had a 5-gigabyte storage limit, your new OneDrive has a 1-terabyte (1024 gigabyte) limit. Much more space for your stuff!
- We’ll provide training on how to share files and control what’s locally available (without an Internet connection) on your various devices.
- Teams is Microsoft’s answer to “department level file sharing” and collaboration. Unlike OneDrive, Teams can have more than one “owner”. Owners can be reassigned, and users, chosen by the Team owner(s), can share files stored in the team site.
- Teams can do more than just facilitate shared files and folders. However, we’re initially focusing on just the file-sharing feature in Teams.
- Training will be available for Teams and at that time we will explain how to make use of its amazing feature set.
- Both OneDrive and Teams bring administration tasks down to the user level. If you accidentally delete a document or save a version you wish you hadn’t, you can restore files or revert them to previously saved versions yourself. If you want to share something, you decide the who’s, what’s, and for how long’s yourself. None of this was possible with “P” drive or department level file sharing without creating a support ticket with ITS and waiting for that ticket to be processed. Now you can easily perform these tasks – instantly - whenever the need arises.
- OneDrive and Microsoft Teams lets you store a lot more stuff. Your “P” drive has a 5-gigabyte storage limit. OneDrive has a 1-terabyte (1024 gigabyte) limit! Teams is nearly unlimited in the amount of space you can use for departmental-level collaboration and file sharing.
- No VPN is required to access OneDrive or Teams. It’s available easily from anywhere on any device!
- The OneDrive app (available for PC, Mac, and mobile devices) let’s you keep local copies of the files and folders you choose, so you can work on them offline, without the need for an Internet connection. The OneDrive app can also give you local copies of selected files and folders from a Microsoft Teams file repository.

Under Manage Team, you’ll be able to see who “owns” the team and who all the current members are.
