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.

1. On your desktop, click on the OneDrive cloud icon.

   1. If you are using Windows, you will see the icon in the bottom right of your monitorscreen, next to the system time.

   2. If you are using macOS, you will see the icon in the top toolbar.

5. Find the desired SharePoint site and click on Choose folders.

6. Click on a folder to check/uncheck it.

   

   1. Unchecking an item means you will need to navigate to https://s.uconn.edu/sharepointin order to see it. The files/folders remain intact yet untouchable from File Explorer (Windows) and Finder (MacOS).

   2. You may expand a list item in order to stop a child folder from syncing. A child folder is a folder within another folder.

   3. The “Files not in a folder” are files that are in your SharePoint but not inside a folder. Consider these to be top-level files no in a folder (you don’t have to open a folder to view them).

   4. To sync all of your files and folders, check the Make all files available box.

7. Click OK to save your changes.
