FAQ 

  • How much storage do I have? 
    • Each user is allocated 100GB of storage in OneDrive.
  • If I switch from Mac to PC or PC to Mac, will my files still save?
    • Files synchronized from both a PC and a Mac should be available to an end-user that switches between both devices. However, they may only be available via the OneDrive web portal due to file/folder discrepancies between macOS and Windows.
