Dartmouth has multiple cloud storage services. They can provide you a place to securely store your files online without taking up any storage on your computer. Cloud storage use is optional but recommended. Each service provides the following features:
Google Drive is for personal file storage and sharing. Shared Drives can be used to share files between a team. Google Workspace for Education accounts have unlimited storage space. You can store your files securely and open or edit them from any device using Google Drive. It is available via a web browser, an app, or via a desktop folder (via the Google Drive for Desktop software) from anywhere.
Dropbox is for file storage and sharing. You have unlimited storage on Dropbox. You can create, edit, and synchronize files securely from your device(s) to cloud-based storage. As is the case with both Google and Microsoft, your Dropbox account can be accessed via any web browser and/or a local client on your computer or mobile device.
OneDrive is Microsoft's storage service for hosting files in the cloud. You can create, edit, and synchronize files securely from your device(s). Each user has 1TB of storage (but can be upgraded once you get closer to the limit). It is available via a web browser or via a local desktop folder from both on-campus and off.
