Critical Concepts


 

Steps to Take


OneDrive via Web Browser

1. Go to the sign-in page: onedrive.ucsd.edu

      Note: If you check the box next to Keep me signed in, OneDrive will remember your email address and you won't have to enter it again.

2. Enter your UCSD Email address (including @ucsd.edu)

3. After you enter your email and click off the email field, you will be redirected to a UCSD sign-in screen:

      If you are using Internet Explorer, you will see this login popup. Enter your email address again and your AD password.

4. Log out: to prevent unauthorized access to your account, remember to select “Sign out” from the OneDrive navigation menu and close your browser after each session.

 

OneDrive via Local File System

You can access your OneDrive files via your local file directory if you have already gone through the file sync process:

PCs

If you have a PC running Windows 7, 8, or 10 and Office 2013 or 2016, the OneDrive for Business sync client is already installed. Follow these instructions to set up the file sync (you only need to do this once).

Macs

Download the OneDrive client for Mac in the Apple App Store. Follow Microsoft's instructions to set up the file sync.

Mobile sync apps
