If the hard drive on your computer fails, the files on that drive would be lost. Information Technology Services (ITS) technicians may not be able to perform data recovery and restoration on local computer drives. This is one important reason why work files should be saved in Microsoft OneDrive, Teams or SharePoint. These services protect against the threat of drive failures and ransomware and provide several other benefits.
