Using OneDrive, you can securely store all of your personal files in one place, easily share them with your colleagues and access them from any device. You can store and share up to 1 TB with OneDrive while creating, collaborating on and editing Microsoft 365 documents in your inbox and in-app. With OneDrive, you can also:
- Control the sharing rights on your documents and access files remotely.
- Eliminate the need to send files to yourself by email: you no longer have to use your inbox for document storage.
- Better collaborate with colleagues by editing and sending changes to OneDrive email attachments in real time through UTmail+. There is no need to collate multiple recipients’ edits and comments.
- Keep track of document comments and edits in one place, not across multiple copies of a document.
