Sharing information and data with collaborators

Office 365 should be used as the default solution for any data storage and collaboration needs by members of the University. These services are available for free from: Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Android, and iOS systems. Files can be access from a web browser or synchronised to a physical device (the user has a choice of which directories are synchronised).

º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ and external colleagues can edit and collaborate on Microsoft office documents at the same time using familiar Office applications like Word and Excel.

Office 365 provides the ability for º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ staff and students to store unlimited numbers of files (a quick call needs to be made to the IT Service Desk once 1TB is reached), with a maximum individual file size of 15GB. Your files even have version history, if you accidently overwrite a file, you can restore the previous versions yourself (within 30 days).
