Note
Microsoft offers two subscription versions for online file storage: OneDrive (personal) and OneDrive for Business. You may already be using the personal version of One Drive to store documents and other content in the cloud. This service is separate from Pace University's OneDrive for Business subscription. OneDrive, the consumer service, offers free personal online storage that you can get with a Microsoft account, such as Live.com or Outlook.com. Anyone can sign up for a personal OneDrive account by going to https://onedrive.live.com.
Please note, users who already have a personal OneDrive account associated with their Pace email address may see a message prompt informing them of the existing account. We recommend that you change that OneDrive account to a non-Pace email address so that there is no conflict between the Pace Office 365 account and your personal Microsoft account. To learn how to do this, please visit: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4026162/microsoft-account-how-to-change-your-email-address.
