Why OneDrive?

OneDrive is a user friendly tool that helps people organize and share their files. It can be useful for school or work and promotes document collaboration where you can make suggestions (Edit, View, Review (aka suggest changes) & Including non-UVic Office 365 users). You can use the Web App or the programs and all the data is stored within Canada.

As A UVic student, you have access to OneDrive until you graduate here. Once you have signed up, login to portal.office.com with your UVic NetLink ID credentials. Please note that you will need to enter in your NetLinkID@uvic.ca, and not just your NetLinkID.
