I use the uni account for office, but read online that they can access other files and your device. How does that actually work? How to verify?

If someone’s an expert and patient, I would really need step by step help, please please please!

    If your uni asks you to install a certificate or any software on your devices, they would have access to your device. When you connect to a network they own, you can assume they’re inspecting the traffic that crosses those services. A VPN like WireGuard or OpenVPN can help to mask it.
