Storing Personal Files on OneDrive
All faculty, staff, and students have a OneDrive account as part of Office 365. To access your OneDrive, go to https://office.uoregon.edu, then once you are signed in, click the OneDrive cloud icon fro the column near the left side of your browser window. Using a web browser to access OneDrive allows you to upload or download files without additional software needing to be installed.
If you have questions about how to use OneDrive, please open a support ticket in the UO Service Portal at https://service.uoregon.edu.
Legacy COE Personal Folder Information
The details below are only applicable if you already have or make use of personal folders. Please use your OneDrive account to store personal files by signing in to https://office.uoregon.edu.
A personal folder is a storage space on a UO-secured server that was set up for COE faculty and staff to keep files and documents that are intended to be accessed and used by a single person only. Your COE personal folder will always be named using your campus Duck ID. Your Duck ID is the first part of your email address up to the ‘@’ symbol, so someduck@uoregon.edu would have a Duck ID of someduck. Files stored in your personal folder are backed up regularly, but can only be accessed by you with a secure network connection. Secure network connections include a wired (ethernet) connection on campus, or a wireless UO Secure connection on campus.
How do I Access My Personal Folder?
The method you use to access to your personal folder depends on whether you are on campus, or off campus.
On-Campus Access
If you are using your UO-owned computer in your office or UO workspace you can access your personal folder by following the connection instructions for Windows or Mac OS X below.
Off-Campus Access
For off-campus access to your personal folder you will need to use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) connection, which is a secure connection provided by the university when you are off-campus. The VPN software is free, so if you have administrative access on your computer you can download and install the UO Cisco VPN software from this link: https://uovpn.uoregon.edu/+CSCOE+/logon.html.
Please note that if you are off campus, you can only connect to your personal folder using the UO VPN. If you have never used the VPN connection, please review Information Services documentation on the VPN client. For other questions, please contact COE IT for assistance in installing the UO Cisco VPN software.
Instructions for adding a link to your personal folder are shown below.
