OneDrive for Business - Quick Reference Guide

Pdf Summary

This quick reference card explains how to use Microsoft OneDrive for Business (Office 365) to store, manage, sync, and share work files.<br /><br />It begins with basic navigation and tasks in the web interface: sign in with a work Office 365 account, search within the current location (and expand searches for more results), access Help, and use the toolbar to upload files (or drag-and-drop), create new files, preview files, open files in Office Online, download copies, and delete items. It also describes connecting OneDrive for Business to desktop Office apps so you can open and save directly to OneDrive locations.<br /><br />File management features include creating folders, moving files by dragging, uploading into specific folders, viewing file details/properties (including who has access and recent activity), checking version history (open/restore/delete versions), sorting and filtering by column headers, and changing views via View options.<br /><br />The card covers PC sync setup and control: start syncing from the Sync button, choose folders, and monitor synced items via the OneDrive icon in the system tray. It explains how to pause syncing, stop syncing by unlinking the PC (noting what happens to locally available vs. online-only files), and work offline using synced folders, with changes syncing back once internet is restored.<br /><br />Sharing guidance includes sharing files or folders with chosen permission levels, using the “Shared with Everyone” organizational folder for automatic company-wide sharing, viewing items “Shared with me” and “Shared by me,” checking who has access via Details, emailing a link through Outlook, copying a link to paste elsewhere, and co-authoring documents with real-time updates.<br /><br />It also notes keyboard shortcuts and icon/symbol meanings, and briefly compares OneDrive (personal) vs. OneDrive for Business (work): storage size, features, account type, SharePoint integration, collaboration, and admin controls.
