Saving and Sharing Files with OneDrive

Saving and Sharing Files with OneDrive

OneDrive is your personal cloud storage — files saved here are backed up automatically and accessible from any device.

Where Are My Files?

• File Explorer — Look for the OneDrive cloud icon in the left sidebar
• Web — Go to onedrive.com and sign in
• Mobile — Install the OneDrive app from your app store

How to Share a File

1. Right-click the file in OneDrive
2. Click Share
3. Type the recipient's email address
4. Choose Can edit or Can view
5. Click Send

Best Practices

• Save work files to OneDrive, not your desktop — desktop files aren't backed up
• Use SharePoint for team-shared folders, OneDrive for personal files
• Don't share files with "Anyone with the link" unless necessary — use specific people
