Office 365 OneDrive Storage

By default, web-based versions of Office 365 apps (e.g., Word, Excel, PowerPoint) files are saved on OneDrive.

Installed versions of Office 365 apps (e.g., Word, Excel, PowerPoint) files can be saved at the location of your choosing, we recommend Google Drive.

Use of OneDrive for storage of University information or data is not supported or recommended by Information Technology. Google Drive is the only approved cloud storage product for University data.

Access to your free Office 365 account is provided as a part of the campus Microsoft license. As such, these accounts are not “personal accounts” and access to Office 365, OneDrive and the data contained therein are linked to your UIndy account.  

  • UIndy employees will lose access to their free UIndy Office 365 account on their last day worked. 
  • Students will lose access to their free UIndy Office 365 one year after their last date of enrollment.
