Onedrive Walk Through
How to access one drive
From any web browser go to https://onedrive.com and sign in as indicated below.
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’.
If you are using a previous version of windows download the app here first.
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’.
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.
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 personal information was not supposed to be saved to your p drive before, and still should not be saved to your OneDrive either. Sharepoint is where that data is supposed to be saved.
