UConn faculty, staff, and students may access SharePoint sites through their OneDrive.

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

Where to access your SharePoint files

ITS recommends accessing your files through the OneDrive App or the OneDrive website.

Both SharePoint and OneDrive use the same OneDrive app on your computer.

Following the guide below, users will be able to access a SharePoint site through their OneDrive.

Add shortcut to OneDrive

  1. Navigate to s.uconn.edu/sharepoint and sign in with your UConn email address and NetID password.

  2. Click on your SharePoint site. Click on Documents in the left-hand menu. In the top toolbar, select Add shortcut to OneDrive.

  3. This SharePoint site is now visible from your OneDrive.

    1. It can be accessed from your OneDrive App on your computer and from the OneDrive website.

  4. Repeat this process if you are a part of multiple SharePoint sites.

  5. Now every computer that is linked to your OneDrive will also sync your SharePoint sites.

What does this shortcut look like on my computer?

  1. Log in to your computer.

    1. Windows: From your desktop, open File Explorer by clicking the icon, using the keyboard shortcut (Windows Key + E), or searching for it in the Start menu.

    2. macOS: Open Finder by clicking on the icon or by pressing Command + Spacebar on your keyboard and searching for Finder.

  2. Click on OneDrive in the left-hand menu.

  3. You will now see your SharePoint(s) among your OneDrive folders. These SharePoint folders will have a chain link icon.

  4. Open this folder and access your SharePoint files as if they were on your computer.

What does this shortcut look like on the website?

  1. Navigate to s.uconn.edu/onedrive and click on My Files in the left-hand menu.

  2. Look for a “Documents - [SharePoint site name]” folder.

  3. Shortcuts to a SharePoint will have a chain link icon over the folder icon to let you know it is a link to another space.

  4. Click on this folder to open it and continue as you would with any OneDrive/SharePoint file or folder.
