How to Add Files and Folders from the new “I:” Drive
- First you need to make sure that your OneDrive is syncing all files.
- To open OneDrive click on the OneDrive icon (Blue cloud) in your task bar. This can be found in the lower right hand corner of your screen
- OneDrive will open like this
- Click on the gear wheel icon in the upper right hand corner of the OneDrive window to open your OneDrive settings, then click on settings
- The OneDrive settings window will open and you should see your sync and backup options. Click on “Account” located on the left hand side of the OneDrive window.
- Then click on “Choose Folders” located below your account information.
- A second OneDrive window will open. In this window, if the box “Make all files available” is checked, you may proceed to step two. If the box is not checked, check it and then click ok.
- Begin adding file locations from SharePoint.
You should see a SharePoint screen like this.
- Identify a folder that you’d like to connect to. For this tutorial I will use the weeklystaff folder as an example.
- Click on the desired folder to open it’s contents.
- With the folder open, click on “Add shortcut to OneDrive”
- After a few seconds you should see a notification in the upper right of the screen that the folder shortcut has been added successfully.
- Finally, open File Explorer
- After a short amount of time, you should see the folder you just added under “OneDrive – Nucor” on the left hand side of the window. Very similar to how you see the current “I:” drive.
- Click on the folder to access and edit it’s contents
- Repeat step 2 until you have added all file folders that you need to access.
