OneDrive: Connect to OneDrive in the YSU App Cloud

How do I connect to and use OneDrive to store my files in the YSU App Cloud?

1. Once you are logged into a desktop in the YSU App Cloud Virtual Environment, search for "OneDrive" in the start menu. Be sure that you are using the start menu in the virtual environment and not on your local computer.

2. Enter your YSU email address, then click Sign in. 

3. The YSU login page will open. Enter your YSU email and password and click Sign in.

4. Leave the Allow my organization to manage my device box checked and then click Yes.

5. Click Done, and then a box will come up showing you the location of your OneDrive folder (see below). Remember the location of your OneDrive folder as you will need to browse to it when you want to open or save files.

6. The next few boxes are informational. Review each and click Next. You can skip the download option for the mobile app. 

7. You will then get a confirmation box that your OneDrive is ready for use. You can either choose to open your OneDrive folder or close the prompt.

8. You will now be able to check the status of your OneDrive folder to make sure that it is connected and in sync by clicking the cloud icon in the bottom-right corner of the task bar. 

9. Now, when you are working in an application and want to save a file to your OneDrive or open a file from your OneDrive, you should see your OneDrive connected in File Explorer in the left menu bar. Be sure to choose the OneDrive that has "Youngstown State University" at the end.

10. If you don't see it on the left menu bar, you can browse to the location of your folder (from above steps). It can be found in C:\users\(YOURUSERNAME)\OneDrive - Youngstown State University.
