Features include:
- Content accessible anywhere online.
- Upload existing documents or create new documents directly within your library using the Office Online suite.
- Edit documents at the same time using co-authoring.
- Generate lists of data with customisable views and columns.
- Create a Wiki Library to share and search for information.
- Record ideas quickly using a shared Notebook.
- Share documents with colleagues outside of UCL.
OneDrive for Business is a web-based collaboration space designed for personal use, such as sharing a file with an individual. UCL staff and students are allocated 1TB of storage space.
