Using OneDrive to Backup Files

What is OneDrive?

OneDrive is Microsoft's cloud storage solution, similar to Google Drive, Box, and iCloud. It lets you save your files online and access them from any device with an internet connection. All Lackawanna College students, staff, and faculty have access to OneDrive through their institutional email address.

Using OneDrive Online:

You can access OneDrive on the web by heading to the Falcon's Landing page, clicking the Log In button and entering your full @falcons.lackawanna.edu or @lackawanna.edu email address and password. Choose the Microsoft 365 tile once signed in.

Once signed in, on the left side you will see a tab labeled Apps. Click this tab to open the Apps menu in the middle of the screen.

Within the apps menu, choose the OneDrive button with the cloud icon.

After clicking the OneDrive icon you will be brought into the OneDrive Online app and are able to view all of your uploaded files and files shared to you through OneDrive. You may create a new Microsoft Office document or file inside your OneDrive and upload entire folders or individual files from your computer through the "+ Create or upload" button.
