Download the onedrive app from the app store for your mobile device.
There is also an app for Apple Computers.
How to sign in
Once installed/opened sign in with your email address and password. If you use Gmail you will use the @pwpsd.ca domain, if you use the Exchange email system you will need to use the @pwsd76.ab.ca domain for the username. If you are prompted to choose between ‘personal’ or ‘Work or School’ as you are signing in, choose ‘work or school’.

Of note: You can drag a shortcut to your onedrive into ‘quick access’ at the top of your file explorer to make access to it easier.
Where your files are
As we migrate we copy files from your p: drive to the same relative location in your Microsoft Onedrive. Once the migration is completed you can move your files wherever you want within one drive. If you move them outside files outside of onedrive OneDrive they are no longer in the ‘cloud’ and are not saved anywhere else. Following the migration, PWPSD will set your home directory drive to read only so you cannot add anything to it, and eventually the old files will be purged (the timeline on that is not set, but likely over the summer). Please note, student or staff personal information was is not supposed to be saved to your p ANY personal drive before, and still should not be saved to your onedrive either. Sharepoint is where that data is supposed to be savedthat includes onedrive and google drive. There are designated locations for that to be stored depending on what it is. If unsure please ask your supervisor.
