What is Storage in Office 365?

Students can use their Digital Portfolio space as digital storage, where they create and collect artefacts. The storage element of the digital portfolio has to allow for the storage of material being worked on that may later be displayed in the showcase of the digital portfolio.

While there are many places where files can be stored and worked on, we recommend using One Drive as the storage area of the digital portfolio. Below you will find some tutorials to get you and your students confident in working with One Drive. This is where students can organise folders and files and folders in a structured way to assist with organisation. These folders and files are saved in the cloud and then students can access them from multiple devices, e.g. smartphone, tablet, or computer, whether at home or in school.
