SharePoint is a cloud-hosted file storage solution that also supports collaboration (e.g., sharing documents, simultaneous editing). When you save files to SharePoint, your team can access them on any device with an internet connection.
Your entire SharePoint can be accessed through a web browser. This is useful if you are on a computer that you do not own (a public computer), you don’t want to sync to, or if you’re on a Chromebook. Remember to sign out when done!
Accessing the SharePoint Website
On a Windows, Mac, or Linux (including Chromebook) computer,
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.
Click the star icon to “follow” a site. This will elevate it into the Following section for easier access.
Click on your site. Once in your site, it will look very similar to a personal OneDrive account. Click on Documents to view your department files.
Looking at your files and folders, click on the context menu (three vertical dots) to see all your options.
Many file types can be opened from within this website. Office365 files will open the web-version of their editor (example: .doc file opening the web-version of Word). This means Office365 does not need to installed on the computer. Click on a file and give it a try!
