Declutter OneDrive and Outlook in four easy steps

Microsoft OneDrive and Outlook are essential tools for the McMaster community. OneDrive is widely used for storing and sharing personal workplace files, while Outlook manages emails and attachments.

We understand that the recent storage limit changes imposed by Microsoft may have caused some inconvenience. We want to assure you that we are here to support you through this transition. 

The new storage limits have been implemented to ensure a more efficient and secure McMaster community. We are committed to helping you manage your storage needs effectively. 

Are your files scattered in different places? Do old files and videos clog up your storage? Can you quickly and efficiently locate the files you need?

Here are a few steps you can take to optimize your storage: 

1. Review and Clean Up: Regularly review your files and delete any that are no longer needed. 
2. Use Shared Drives: Consider using shared drives for collaborative projects to reduce individual storage usage. 
3. Archive Old Files: Move older files that are not frequently accessed to an archive folder.
