Microsoft Onedrive

For NIH one drive,

  • we can only share with NIH users.
  • When sharing a file, the receiver needs to sign in through their browser and if the files are large, it cannot be opened online and needs to be downloaded to local first.
  • we need a PIV card in order to see oneDrive online.
  • it seems we cannot use oneDrive as a backup. If we unselect a folder for syncing, the folder will be immediately removed from the local system.
  • not sure if the syncing is working. I copy a new folder to the local onedrive folder. The oneDrive icon on the top menu keeps rotation but nothing really happened. The new files are not in cloud and the syncing symbol shows files are not synced.
