The adoption of Office 365 presents an exciting opportunity for the University, with advanced communications and collaboration functionality. Some of the immediate benefits include:
A larger mailbox (50GB instead of 300 MB)
Ability to send larger attachments (150MB instead of 50MB)
Web-enabled meetings including online meeting scheduling from the Outlook Calendar
Access to One Drive, a cloud-based storage space to store and share up to 1TB of files
If you have any questions please consult the university's Office365 migration website at office365.utoronto.ca or contact the OISE EC Client Care Portal at whd.oise.utoronto.ca or via phone at 416-978-1802.
Computer security
Please remember security is a shared responsibility.
The following are the critical steps that we count on everyone to take to protect their data and reduce vulnerabilities for everyone.
Save or copy all your important data to OISEDrive (also known as HomeSpace) regularly. Any files stored on HomeSpace/OISEDrive for more than 24 hours can be restored from backups in case they are affected.
Exercise caution when opening email attachments. Do not open any messages with offers that are too good to be true. Beware of messages from the CRA about your income tax refund for example, or banks asking for your credentials, or to have you open an attachment.
Regularly apply security updates to your home and personally owned computers.
If you have any questions, please contact the OISE EC Client Care Portal https://whd.oise.utoronto.ca
