Syncing OneDrive to a Computer
Think of “syncing” as linking your computer to your OneDrive account. This process can be repeated on multiple computers.
Navigate to https://uconn-my.sharepoint.com/ and sign in with your UConn email address and NetID password.
You may also visit office365.com, sign in using the same credentials listed above, click on the app launcher icon in the top-left corner, and choose OneDrive.
After signing in, you will be brought to your OneDrive home page. In the top toolbar, select Sync.
The OneDrive website will check if you have the OneDrive application installed. If you do not, it will now install itself.
If your browser prompts you to “Choose an application” choose Microsoft OneDrive to open the link.
Your OneDrive folder will now begin syncing to your computer.

This initial sync may take some time, depending on the number of files in your OneDrive account. The sync happens in the background and you may shutdown your computer. |
