Cloud Storage / Collaboration

What is Cloud Storage?

Cloud Storage is a backup and storage service on the internet. Cloud storage allows files to be uploaded, downloaded, shared, and are accessible from any device that has internet access. Cloud storage also allows you the ability to share those files and collaborate online with multiple people reducing the need to send files via email. There are two supported tools that you can use:

Google Drive

Google Drive (unlimited access) is available for all students, faculty and staff to use as cloud storage here at Gustavus. You can create folders, upload files, create spreadsheets, documents, presentations, or surveys and share them with others to use for collaboration.

Microsoft Office 365
