|---|
OneDrive is pre-installed on Windows 10 & and 11 computers. If you don’t do not have Windows 10 or do not see OneDrive on your computer, you canclick here to download the OneDrive installer here. Open Once the installer and is opened, follow the instructions below. |
Click the OneDrive icon (cloud) in the bottom right of the Windows taskbar.
Note the cloud icon may be gray or blue. If then icon is blue, you are likely already signed into OneDrive.
If you do not see the OneDrive icon, select the Windows Search bar or the Windows icon in the bottom left and search for “OneDrive”.
Follow the on-screen instructions and use your UConn email address and NetID password to log in.
When asked whether you would like to back up your Desktop, Documents, and Pictures, ITS recommends that you accept this choice. See the blue Info blurb at the top of this page.
Next, we will tell OneDrive where to live on your computer. This is where your files will reside while you’re working on them. Click on Choose OneDrive Folder Location.
The File Explorer window will default to your User (NetID) folder. This is an appropriate location. Only change the location if you are certain that you would like the files elsewhere. Reach out to techsupport@uconn.edu if you think you need to change this location.
Once setup is complete you can find your files in the OneDrive section of File Explorer.
