Tech Tip: Office 365 OneDrive

Most students are aware of the Microsoft Office package that’s available to students. But did you know that Office also has an online component, called Office 365? Think the constant backing up of your files that you get with Google Drive, but with Microsoft Office’s more refined features and universal accessibility for E-Town students. Login to your individual OneDrive using your E-Town credentials, then choose the type of file that you would like to create. Office 365 is a suite of many online apps such as Word, Powerpoint, Excel, Forms (for online surveys), OneNote and Visio.  Files created with these apps can be stored online in your Elizabethtown College OneDrive, so they are accessible anywhere you have internet.

Files are easily shared and the same document can be edited at the same time on separate devices. The document is automatically saved each time a change is made. These files can be accessed anywhere on or off campus, including through Microsoft Office’s mobile apps.
