Dear USC Students,
I am pleased to announce that USC’s Information Technology Services now provides students with Microsoft OneDrive and Skype for Business accounts. We hope that these accounts will make it easier for you to back up your Microsoft Office and other files and to collaborate with your instructors.
Accessible through the web at www.usc.edu/onedrive, OneDrive for Business allows you to store and share up to 5 terabytes of files. Desktop and mobile apps are available to simplify the backup and storage process. For information on how to access and use OneDrive for Business, see OneDrive for Business on the ITS website. For a comparison of available online storage options, see Storage at USC.
Along with OneDrive for Business, you can now also access Skype for Business, SharePoint, Office Online, and other Microsoft Office 365 apps. For a full listing of Office 365 products available to USC students, visit Microsoft Office 365 for Students. Please note that, at this time, you will be able to access and edit, but not host, SharePoint sites and will not have access to Office 365 email and calendaring.
If you have any questions about these new offerings or need assistance getting started with them, please call the ITS Customer Support Center (CSC) at 213-740-5555. The CSC is available to assist you by phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Sincerely,
Doug
