Staff and Faculty:

What does it mean to use OneDrive at Evergreen? What about my office share drives on Hurricane (H: Drive)?

• OneDrive at Evergreen will replace what is commonly called your (H:) drive or personal drive on the server called Hurricane. Save your draft or private documents here before you are ready to share them with your Team.
• Storing your documents in OneDrive and Teams ensures that they are securely backed up, sharing permissions are managed, and available to you from any browser.
• OneDrive and Teams allow the college to comply with public records retention and requests. Our Microsoft contract covers all of the legal compliances. See Microsoft's Trust Center.

Sharing documents

• You can share your documents from OneDrive with other users who also have Evergreen credentials.
• OneDrive MyFiles are best for drafts or private documents. We recommend work unit related work be stored in your SharePoint/Team document library.
