There are several versions of OneDrive available to you at the University, but only Nexus365 OneDrive for Business meet the University security guidance.
Do not use personal versions of OneDrive, such as OneDrive Personal or OneDrive for Business Through Kivuto, because these breach University security guidance. The same applies to other file sync and share services such as Dropbox and Box personal accounts.
