OneDrive - Add a File

Description:

OneDrive is cloud storage that is Personal.  SharePoint is cloud storage for Teams.

OneDrive should only be used for small single temporary sharing.  If something needs to have longevity, be available to others for a while, a Team should be used.

You might use OneDrive to share a file or video to a person that is over 25MB because you can't send a file that size in an email.

You upload the file to OneDrive, and then copy a sharable link (you set the permissions) to share.

TIP=> You can also add and share Folders, follow the instructions below to do so and choose Folders vs Files in the directions.

Instructions:

  1. Login to Microsoft 365
  2. Click the Waffle (top left) 
    waffle

  6. Click + Add new

  7. Click Files Upload
  8. Choose file from your computer
  9. Click Open
  10. The file is now in your OneDrive!
