You can use your TWU OneDrive account to hold your encrypted research data.
If data is shared externally with a collaborator who may or may not be using an encrypted device, file-level encryption ensures the data will remain protected wherever it ends up.

Data is "inactive" if it is no longer being worked on, modified, and/or analyzed.
If your data is low- to medium-risk and does not contain information that could identify participants, use TWU Dataverse or a discipline-relevant repository.
If your data is high-risk, keep your data in TWU OneDrive in encrypted files, but create a record in an appropriate repository (either TWU Dataverse or a discipline-relevant repository) so that it and any relevant documentation is curated and safeguarded against loss
