Overview

This article shows how to Sync OneDrive documents to your computer. For this process, you will need to have OneDrive installed on your current computer. If you do not have OneDrive installed, please visit Download and Installation of Desktop App

  1. When logged into OneDrive via the website, select Sync.


  2. A message will appear verifying the SharePoint of your OneDrive. At this time, you can check mark Always allow usfedu-my.sharepoint.com to open links of this type in the associated app. This means it will always Sync with your USF OneDrive account. Select Open Microsoft OneDrive afterwards.

    This message will only appear if OneDrive is not currently running on the computer.



  3. Now when you browse for files on your computer you will see OneDrive as a file location and files will appear in the file explorer.
     

  4. Now you can drag files from a location on your computer to the synced OneDrive folder and they will automatically upload to OneDrive for Business
