Effective May 29, 2025, Microsoft is implementing a change that will impact how personal Microsoft OneDrive accounts interact with UA-managed Windows devices (ua-net). OIT will block this capability to prevent potential security issues with personal data being “mixed” with UA data.
What’s Not Affected?
- You can still access your personal Microsoft account and files via a web browser.
- Synchronization of your UA account OneDrive will continue to function as usual.
Why This Matters
This change helps protect both personal and institutional data by reducing the risk of cross-account data exposure and ensuring compliance with UA’s data governance policies.
If you have any questions or need help adjusting your OneDrive settings, please contact the IT Service Desk at ITSD@ua.edu or 205-348-5555.
