Sync Sharepoint folders to your workstation.
1. You will receive an email with a link to the newly shared folder. Click the link within the email and login to Sharepoint.
2. Once logged in it will display the contents of the shared folder, this is called the Document Library. It should be displayed with several options above the files and folders and should be visible from within the “Home” and “Documents” pages on the left-hand side of the website.
3. Please note that we recommend that you do not click on any of the folders listed within the Document Library yet, as this will limit the data your computer will download. If you have clicked on a subfolder you can go back to the top-level folder by pressing on the “Documents” text above the folders. Click the option labelled “Sync” to continue.
4. Your web browser will prompt you requesting permission to access OneDrive. Click on the button labelled “Open Microsoft OneDrive”.
Please note that if you are not logged in, a OneDrive window will appear and you will be required to log in to complete the setup.
5. At this point, the setup process should now be complete. Within Windows Explorer, on the left-hand side, you should now have a copy of the newly shared folder that will automatically sync to your computer/device.
You will be able to monitor progress by clicking on the One Drive cloud icon in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. The initial synchronization may take some time to complete depending on your internet speed and the size of the folder and if there are any other folders currently syncing.
