You can find information on the following:

• Internal mailing lists

Microsoft 365 provides a number of modern features for data storage and sharing. These are the default options for your document storage and collaboration needs. They can be accessed and worked on from multiple devices such as Windows, Mac, mobile devices and via most modern web browsers.

When deciding where to store documents, you need to take into account the document's life cycle. 

In the majority of instances, you will want to create the document in a specific MS Team instead of your personal OneDrive to ensure the right people have access. Consider creating a MS Team per project and using your departmental or School MS Team as appropriate.

Some consideration might be:

• Will the document form part of a governance decision which needs to be referenced in the future?
• Is the document important to your school or department and access will be needed if you are away from the University?
• Will you be collaborating with several people who will want access as part of a project?

It is highly recommended that Group Workspace is no longer used for any new document requirements, and IT Services will be encouraging existing users to migrate to OneDrive and MS Teams over the next 18 months.

If you are unsure of which storage option to use, please contact IT Services at IT.Services@lboro.ac.uk to discuss your requirements.
