One of the big benefits of cutting over to Office 365 is access to using OneDrive.  OneDrive syncs your files to the cloud so you can access them from anywhere (similar to DropBox).  Below are steps on installing and using the software.

 

  1. There are a couple ways you can access your one drive.  The first way is to into My Connect and click on the 365 tile and then choose One Drive.
  2. In here you can create new folders to organize files within one drive and upload files yourself into it.
  3. To upload your files simply hit the upload option and then choose files.  You can browser your computer for files you want to upload into one drive.  This would allow you for example to access these files on another PC if you logged into OneDrive the same way you did above.
  4. You can also directly install the OneDrive software on your machine as well. DO NOT do this on an office PC as that will give anyone who uses the computer access to your one drive files.
  5. To install the software go to portal.office.com and login with your email address and password.
  6. Click install Office apps and install software

  1. Choose One Drive on the left then choose install

  1. Open and run the installer
  2. When it completes it will create a OneDrive Folder under the profile on your computer

  1. Any documents you put or save in that location will also sync to your OneDrive account.
  2. There is also a OneDrive app that you can install on your smart phone if want access to the account on there as well.  You can download it from the app or google play store (just search onedrive) and then login with your email address and password.
