Accessing OneDrive files and folder that have been shared with you
When they do, you will receive an email notifying you that you
have been given access, at which point the folders will be available in OneDrive
online. You can create a shortcut to the
folder(s), which will then sync to and be available in OneDrive on your laptop.
After the folders have been shared with you:
- Go to OneDrive online (scsdrive.org)
- Select “Shared” in the
sidebar
- Locate the shared folders
(you can click the corresponding column headings to sort by file name, “Shared
by” or “Date shared”)
- Click More Options (“…”)
- Select “Add shortcut to
my files)
- A shortcut will be added
to “My Files,” and will be synced to and available from your laptop. The files will open in Office online - rather
than the desktop app - as they are cloud files and do not actually reside
on your computer.
- If you want to move the
shortcut to a different location in your OneDrive, click “More Options”
and select “Move To,” then choose your desired location.
