OneDrive allows you to access your files from anywhere but to do so, you’ll have to put them there first. This guide walks you through how to upload files or folders to your OneDrive using your browser.


Important Note:

OneDrive through the browser only permits you to copy files to your OneDrive. This means the original file will remain on your computer. Any changes made to the file in the OneDrive will not be reflected in the file saved to your local desktop. In this way, you may end up having two versions of the file. If you only want to maintain one version of the file, we recommend following the instructions on saving files through your desktop application instead. See the link below for instructions on how to do this on Windows or Mac:



Saving a File to Your OneDrive via the Browser

  1. Sign in to OneDrive at Onedrive.live.com with your my.evergreen credentials.

  2. Click "Upload" at the top of your OneDrive page. The button is indicated with an up arrow pointing to a line. Clicking this button will open a small dropdown menu.

  4. Select the file you want to upload to your OneDrive by clicking on it. Upon selecting the file, the name should be highlighted to indicate it is selected.
