Cloud Storage Service Consolidation Initiative

Project Background

Stevens currently has four storage platforms for users - Google, Storage01, Box, and Microsoft 365. With Storage01 being decommissioned and Google changing their licensing structure to no longer provide free storage, Stevens is moving to Microsoft 365 as our primary cloud storage solution for sensitive and restricted data.  

Microsoft OneDrive (5TB per user) and SharePoint should be utilized for sensitive and departmental data, but Google (10 GB per user) will still be available for non-sensitive data. Please be aware that copyrighted material (torrents, movies, music, etc.) should not be stored on any Stevens provided storage platform. 

Moving to OneDrive and SharePoint for cloud storage leverages the University’s strategic partnership with Microsoft to provide the same capabilities as Google and Box while also enabling seamless integration with other powerful Microsoft 365 collaboration tools like Teams and Canvas.
