How to access Sharepoint!?

Question

How to access Sharepoint!?

Seth Ward 0

I'm the main admin on our Microsoft accounts. I just want to create some company-wide shared folders.

I see this can't actually be done in OneDrive so I'm trying to use Sharepoint.

When I go to microsoft.sharepoint.com I get this...

Selected user account does not exist in tenant 'Microsoft' and cannot access the application '00000003-0000-0ff1-ce00-000000000000' in that tenant. The account needs to be added as an external user in the tenant first. Please use a different account.

On top of this when I go to admin.microsoft.com all I get is a blank screen.

Why does nothing work in the world of Microsoft and give such obscure and unhelpful error messages (if you're lucky enough to even get those!?)

Hi @Seth Ward,

To access SharePoint, you should go to "<your tenant name>,microsoft.com" instead of "microsoft.sharepoint.com".

Reference: Sign in to SharePoint.

Thanks. But I’m trying to set up Sharepoint. So we don’t have a Sharepoint tenant name yet.

@Seth Ward,

If SharePoint is included in your M365 subscription, go to m365.cloud.microsoft and sign in to your work or school account. In the upper left corner of the window, select the app launcher > SharePoint. If you don't see the SharePoint app after selecting the app launcher, you can find it by either selecting More apps, or using the Search box near the top of the window to search for SharePoint.

Do you mean you haven't created an organization in the Microsoft 365 admin center?
If you have created an organization, the organization name will exist, right?
"<organization name>.sharepoint.com"
