Students, faculty, and staff may use the Photo Backup feature of the OneDrive app on their smartphone or tablet. This feature automatically backs up pictures and videos from your phone into the OneDrive cloud. This protects your pictures and videos from physical damage to your phone.

Note

When students, faculty, and staff graduate or separate from UConn, they lose access to their OneDrive files.

Users will be notified of their account deletion timeline through email and should be sure to download any data they wish to keep.
