All UT employees and students have access to Microsoft OneDrive and Dropbox for cloud-based file storage. These apps serve as a means for backing up critical files, documents, and data. It's recommended users save and edit their files directly from Dropbox or OneDrive in lieu of saving the file to their local computer. This present numerous advantages:

• Files stored in the cloud are available anywhere and from any device.
• Any changes made to a file are automatically reflected on the other devices with access to the file(s).
• Folders and files can be shared with colleagues to collaborate electronically on many types of files in real-time.
• Both OneDrive and Dropbox feature apps for your computer and phone to easily access, save, edit, and manage your documents without opening a web browser.
• Industry-standard security measures to protect your files are managed by Microsoft and Dropbox. Everything is encrypted in transit and at rest.
• Cloud-based storage boasts high availability and recoverability with file versions and backups in multiple data centers.
