Set-up: OneDrive

All St Leonard’s College students in years 5-12 are expected to use OneDrive as their primary file storage location. This is important to avoid the loss of work, but also to ensure that our IT Helpdesk is able to restore access in certain cases. Keeping your files in the cloud also allows for easy transfer in case of a lost or damaged device, and ensures that you have access to your assessment tasks even if you forget your device at home.

Anything uploaded to your OneDrive is accessible by the College. Be aware of what you’re uploading and monitor the folders you choose to sync.
