UConn faculty, staff, and students may sync their SharePoint sites to their computer. Syncing a site places your shared files directly in your File Explorer (Windows) and Finder (macOS) so you do not need to use the website.
| Note |

When students graduate or when faculty/staff separate from the organization, they will lose access to their SharePoint sites. |

Sync your SharePoint to your Computer
...
Depending on the number of files in your SharePoint site, the initial synchronization with your computer may take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours.
During this initial synchronization, you will not be able to access file in File Explorer (Windows) or Finder (macOS). Please use the website, s.uconn.edu/sharepoint, to access your files until the synchronization has completed.
Navigate to s.uconn.edu/sharepoint and sign in with your UConn email address and NetID password.
Click on your SharePoint site. Click on Documents in the left-hand menu. In the top toolbar, select Sync.
The website will check if you have OneDrive installed on your computer. You will see a couple popups. Allow your browser to open OneDrive.
If you do, the site will begin to sync to your computer. Depending on the number of files, this initial sync may take a few hours.
If you do not have OneDrive installed, click on “install the latest version of OneDrive.”
Repeat this process if you are a member of multiple SharePoint sites.
