Manual

You can sync folders, files, and entire libraries from Office 365 to your computer. This means that you can work with the same files you have in Teams, SharePoint or OneDrive. In this manual, we will show you how to sync files from your OneDrive, Team, Team Channel, and a shared SharePoint library. Our recommendation is that you do not sync too many files.

1. Select Start on your computer and find the OneDrive app.
   
2. Log in to OneDrive with your account, umuid@ad.umu.se.
3. When you are logged in, the blue cloud appears down to the right.
   
4. You can set which folders you want to sync by clicking on the OneDrive cloud and then the gear at the top right
   
5. Gå sedan till Konto och Välj mappar, bocka i de mappar du vill synkronisera och klicka sedan på OK.
   
6. Syncing from your OneDrive is now complete. A new tab is created in your Explorer/Finder – “OneDrive – Umeå University”. You can now work with these files from your computer. Note that these are the same files that are on OneDrive for the web. It’s just another way of working from the computer.
   

Sync files from an entire Team to your computer
