OneDrive for Business provides the ability to store your files in one location that can be accessed from any work station or device with an Internet connection. You can sync files across multiple devices, or access them through Microsoft Outlook on the Internet. This guide explains how to access OneDrive for Business on your Windows work station via an explorer window/screen or via an Internet browser.

Accessing OneDrive for Business from Windows

Open the Start menu and select OneDrive for Business from the menu. Ensure that you select OneDrive for Business, as you may have other versions installed on your workstation. OneDrive for Business displays.
OneDrive for Business visually appears as a file explorer window. The contents are saved to cloud storage, making them accessible from any workstation with an internet connection. An example of how OneDrive for Business might appear is displayed below.
You can save documents and other files directly to OneDrive for Business, or you can drag and drop files to OneDrive for Business, as needed.

Repeat these steps to access OneDrive for Business.

Accessing OneDrive for Business from a Web Browser

You can access the files you have saved to OneDrive for Business from any web browser. You can also save new files to OneDrive for Business via a web browser, when you are working on a workstation other than your own.

Navigate to http://dornsife.usc.edu/365. A log in page displays.
Enter your USC NetID in the User Name field. Your USC NetID is the portion of your email address that appears before the @ symbol. For example, if your email address is jdoe@usc.edu, then your USC NetID is jdoe.
Enter your USC NetID password in the Password field. Your USC NetID password is the password with which you log into Workday, Blackboard, and your email account.
Select the OK button after entering your login credentials. Outlook Web Access (OWA) is displayed.
Select the menu option, located on the top, left side of the screen. The My apps menu displays.
Next, select the OneDrive option. OneDrive for Business displays.

You can now upload new documents or access existing documents from the OneDrive for Business internet access page.
