One-stop file access with OneDrive

Completed

OneDrive is a one-stop shop for sharing, saving, and creating files. It’s similar to other file storage applications and might feel familiar to other services like Google Drive or iCloud.

An educator's absolute nightmare is to lose all the files they've spent countless hours creating. The Microsoft 365 for Education subscription includes 1 Terabyte (TB) of file storage space in OneDrive. This storage space allows educators to breathe a sigh of relief and not have to worry about losing a flash drive, external hard drive, or spilling coffee on their computer. OneDrive is file storage in the cloud, meaning that OneDrive files are accessible anywhere with internet access.

Access important files in the blink of an eye by signing into office.com and selecting OneDrive. Creating and sharing files are just as easy.

For computer users, the OneDrive app is a major time saver. Select the Start Menu, then scroll to (or search for) the OneDrive app.

When prompted, sign in with a school username and password. A prompt will appear to set up a backup of Desktop, Documents, and Pictures folders. Selecting this option is highly recommended since most files stored on a computer are stored in these three folders. This feature creates a constant backup and allows instant access to all files from any device with an internet connection.

Once the OneDrive app setup is complete, documents and files will automatically be synced to OneDrive, viewable on the web, and appear in File Explorer (the yellow folder in the Windows 11 Taskbar).

The Microsoft 365 Desktop Apps also allow for offline work. Files and updates will automatically sync to OneDrive when the device reconnects to the internet.

Uploading already-created files to OneDrive is also a breeze!
