Open SharePoint in a Browser
- Dan Jakubiak
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 (or other Linux device).
If you’re on a shared computer, remember to sign out when done!
