The University of Oregon is extending its Dropbox service into March 2026. Dropbox users will receive more specific guidance in the coming months, after Information Services and the Office of the Vice President for Research and Innovation form a project team to support the university’s 17-month transition to other data storage services. No immediate action is required. Learn more in OregonNews, on the Future of UO Data Storage webpage, and in the October 21 email to Dropbox users.

On Wednesday, Jan. 22, the Duck ID Account Management website (duckid.uoregon.edu) will be down for maintenance 6:00 p.m.–9:00 p.m. Password resets won't be possible during that time. However, Duck ID logins to other UO services will continue to function as usual.

Microsoft Copilot with data protection is now available to everyone at the UO. Copilot is a generative AI tool, driven by the same engines as ChatGPT and DALL-E. In the protected version, your prompts are encrypted and won't be used to train the underlying AI model.
