How to submit data via OneDrive

This page shows you how to share files stored in your OneDrive account.

You won't be able to submit data until you have a formal deposit agreement.

If you haven't yet started the deposit process, see How to deposit with the EIDC.

1. Sign in to your OneDrive account at https://onedrive.live.com/

NB: This is the address for OneDrive personal accounts. If OneDrive is provided by your institution, the way you access it may be slightly different. We recommend you check your institution's guidance and support pages.

2. Create a new folder. Name the folder with the EIDC deposit reference you have been provided (e.g. EIDCHELP-1234X)

PLEASE NOTE: We will only accept files you have previously agreed to supply in your deposit agreement

Please note
Sharing files with us in this way means we will be able to access them and make copies but we won't be able to change or delete them
