How to access one drive

1. From any web browser go to https://onedrive.com and sign in as indicated below.

2. If you have windows 10 or later go to the windows menu (or search pane in the bottom left) and type in ‘onedrive’. Do not use the ‘onedrive for business app’, just ‘onedrive’.

3. Download the onedrive app from the app store for your mobile device.

4. 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 are prompted to choose between ‘personal’ or ‘Work or School’ as you are signing in, choose ‘work or school’.

For the Windows App Onedrive – Peace Wapiti School Division should appear in your file explorer and as an option when saving, that is where you want to save now. OneDrive will appear in file explore as ‘OneDrive – Peace Wapiti School Division #76’. You can find File Explorer by searching the start menu, although it appears when you are prompted to save something as well.  

Open

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

If you move files outside of OneDrive they are no longer in the ‘cloud’ and are not saved anywhere else. Please note, student or staff personal information is not supposed to be saved to ANY personal drive, that 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.
