  • Which data to store in OneDrive? 

    You can store most of your school-related files and documents in OneDrive – OsloMet's security rules for processing information apply to the use of Office 365. 

    • Sensitive personal data and sensitive research data must not be stored or shared through OneDrive. Storage of data in OneDrive means your data will be store outside Norway, in the "cloud". Read more about Microsoft's security policy and privacy on Microsoft.com. 

    • Read about how to store sensitive data/information here. 

    • OneDrive Sync is not available on OsloMet's computers.

  • Completed or ended your studies at OsloMet? 

    Please remember to download your files from your Office 365 student account at OsloMet. 

    Your user account will be terminated 30 days after you have completed your studies. 

    You can also choose to continue your Office 365 account as a personal subscription. 

  • Work area on OsloMet PCs 

    As a student, you have a temporary work area in the "Documents" folder on all OsloMet's Windows machines. Here you can store up to 3GB. The work area allows you to work efficiently with documents, files, etc. in a teaching context during the semester. 

    • Access to the work area will be lost on the day you leave as a student at OsloMet. OsloMet does not guarantee the backup of material stored in the Documents folder. 
    • Long-term storage and backup of files and documents should take place in OneDrive. You must move files you want to store to OneDrive on a long-term basis. 
    • Use the OneDrive browser version for long-term storage of documents. 
    • OneDrive sync is not available on OsloMet's PCs. 

  • Backup?

    Always try to recover data you have deleted from the trash in the system. Files are left in the trash for 90 days after you delete them. 

    OsloMet also takes a 90-day backup of data deleted in Microsoft Office 365 (Teams, Outlook, OneDrive, etc.). Backup time from other systems may vary. 

    Remember that you will lose access to your account 30 days after completing your studies.
