With SharePoint, you can view the version history of your files, recover deleted folders and files, and control which folders are backed up to your computer and to SharePoint. UConn faculty, staff, and students may follow these guides to learn about SharePoint features and how best to use SharePoint.
I’ve followed the instructions and SharePoint is connected to my computer. Now what?
Once you have synchronized your computer with SharePoint, you can browse your files that are backed up by SharePoint as you normally would!
On your computer,
open File Explorer by clicking the icon, using the keyboard shortcut (Windows Key + E), or searching for it in the Start menu.
Open Finder by clicking on the icon or by pressing Command + Spacebar on your keyboard and searching for Finder.
On the left sidebar, click on University of Connecticut.
To add a file to SharePoint, copy and paste (or drag and drop) it directly into this location and it will be automatically synced with SharePoint.
Treat these files as you would any other file on your computer.
The files in this folder will always stay in sync with SharePoint. If you shutdown your computer, the synchronization will pause and then resume when the computer is turned back on.
