When it became clear we needed to move away from moving BuckeyeBox, we chose OneDrive for Business in part because it has extensive sharing capabilities. However, sharing works differently than you are used to on Box, so it may take some time to get used to the new protocols.
How do I see shared files in OneDrive?
As we move away from BuckeyeBox and onto OneDrive, we know that new employees may still need BuckeyeBox to collaborate with existing users. However, new users will not be able to create and own new files and folders.
Anyone who requests a new account on May 11 or later will have their storage allotment set to zero. This enables new users to save documents to existing folders owned by other users and to collaborate on any content that is shared with them.
We encourage all users to begin new projects in OneDrive in preparation for the retirement of BuckeyeBox.
Many users have taken advantage of “anonymous links” in BuckeyeBox for content that is suitable to be shared widely. Enabling this capability in OneDrive and Teams has been under security review, and we have determined we can manage the risk to enable users to continue using anonymous links when we copy your BuckeyeBox content into OneDrive.
Starting Monday, Dec. 28, you will be able to create anonymous sharing links (aka “anyone links” or “public links”) in OneDrive and Teams. Anonymous links enables anyone with the link to view a document.
Microsoft designed Office 365 to integrate many tools within one platform. On Tuesday, June 23, we are introducing additional applications that users can take advantage of as needed.
As part of our Office 365 Transformation Roadmap, we are implementing email improvements throughout the current academic year. Two upcoming enhancements are a new and improved landing page for logging in to email and new URL rewrite security to protect you to from malicious links in emails.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is expanding support for existing Ohio State AWS users(link is external) and for Ohio State employees interested in learning more about AWS.

Ohio State’s Wireless Expansion Project is making major strides, with 73% of total access points complete as of October 2019. Wireless services are now covering Ohio Stadium and reaching out to extension offices in counties across the state.
Constant communication is key for those who work continuously to keep Ohio State facilities safe and fully operational. Microsoft Teams, one of Ohio State’s newest Office 365 tools, takes digital communication among faculty, staff and students beyond the basic chatroom. Teams integrates with other Office 365 programs, creating an all-in-one digital workspace catered to seamless collaboration. Teams works around the clock to support university communication anytime, anywhere.
Beginning on October 13, everyone who uses eTimesheet to record time, including student employees, should record start time and end time, as well as time-out to lunch and time back in, if a lunch break is taken.
Requiring users to record a lunch break ensures payroll accuracy. Be sure to pay close attention to “AM/PM” selections. Incorrect “AM/PM” selections could result in over or underpayment of hours worked and overtime
Several years ago, Ohio State formed contracted with Box.com for a cloud storage and collaboration solution. Once we added some security and set up unlimited storage, we launched the BuckeyeBox for all Ohio State users
