New OneDrive policy
The Weizmann Institute's OneDrive policy previously allowed files to be shared with @weizmann.ac.il account holders, within the organization only.
We are pleased to inform you of a policy change, following which OneDrive will also allow sharing with external parties.
Important notes:
- The OneDrive service should be used as an assistive tool for work purposes only.
- You are required to exercise discretion and take reasonable and acceptable precautions when sharing files and data.
- Sharing of commercial or business information is to be done with caution, and only by people authorized to do so on behalf of the Institute. Care must also be taken to comply with the Privacy Protection Act (content in Hebrew).
- The OneDrive service is not to be used to share any clinical Information, as defined in Weizmann Institute procedures.
