As part of the UO’s digital storage transformation, we’re realigning our cloud storage offerings.
- UO Microsoft services—OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams—will serve as the core digital storage for everyone at the UO. These services offer cloud storage, document sharing, and collaboration, natively integrated with the Microsoft apps.
- Dropbox access will be limited to faculty, officers of administration, classified staff, graduate employees, research groups, and departments.
This change will help ensure everyone gets the storage they need while helping the university stay nimble, resilient, and adaptable in the face of price increases and other unpredictable changes by cloud storage vendors.
