OneDrive is more than just a place to store your files. It’s a sync tool to let you store OneDrive, SharePoint, and Microsoft Teams files locally on your computer and smartphone so you can access files when you have weak or no internet access. Any changes you make will be uploaded the next time you connect to a network.
This video covers how to get syncing on your computer and mobile device then dives into best practices, tips and tricks, and landmines to avoid when syncing. Have you heard of the “Add shortcut to OneDrive” tip? It comes in super handy when syncing to OneDrive! Not to mention favoriting SharePoint sites and Teams so you can view your team files right in the OneDrive app on your phone.
There’s a lot to know about syncing, but once you have some expertise, it becomes second nature and really helps make life easier in so many ways.
