UCSD Employees in A&H have access to 5TB of data storage on Microsoft OneDrive. This service is built into Windows and when enabled will automatically synchronize your local Desktop, Documents, and Photos with the cloud. We recommend you enable this on all work Windows devices to ensure data security through unexpected device failures and other circumstances. It also allows for easier laptop transitions as your files will automatically populate on all Windows devices that are logged into your UCSD account.
You can follow this process on your Windows device to enroll:
Start by opening the OneDrive settings. Do this by clicking on the OneDrive Cloud icon located on the taskbar near the clock on the right side. It might be nested in the up-arrow. It is circled in red in the photo.
Authenticate as necessary using your UCSD employee email account.
Hit "Next."
Choose to backup all folders (Documents, Pictures, Desktop) like depicted here. Then select "Start backup."
This may take some time, we recommend leaving your computer on and plugged in so this can complete.
Files across your computer will now have an icon that signifies the status of their backup.
