Document Storage Using OneDrive and Google Drive

Overview

This article provides guidance on using Microsoft OneDrive and Google Drive for document storage.

Instructions

Microsoft OneDrive:

Students who are currently enrolled in a credit course are allowed access to Microsoft OneDrive as a part of Microsoft 365 Student Advantage.

Once the semester ends for students enrolled in credit courses, they will be allowed a grace period of three semesters when they do not need to enroll in a credit course to continue having access to their OneDrive. Once this period is up, their access will be removed. If they enroll in a credit course before the three semesters are over, then the grace period will reset and begin again at the end of that semester.

Once the access is removed, the student’s data will also be deleted.

1. Navigate to Microsoft 365.
2. Enter your JCCC email (JCCCusername@stumail.jccc.edu), select Next.
3. Enter your password, select Sign in.
4. If you want to stay signed in, then select Yes. If not, select No. If you want the system to remember your choice and not prompt you again at the next login, check the box next to Don’t show this again.
5. Select App launcher in the upper left hand corner.  This icon looks like a 3 x 3 grid.
