Goodwill Community Foundation creating
opportunities for a better life did you
know you can use onedrive for more than
just office online you can also upload
files like photos videos music and more
so you can access them from any computer
there are two ways to upload files to
onedrive from your desktop and from the
web in this video I'm going to show you
how to do both if you've already
installed the onedrive app you should
have everything you need to sync and
upload files straight from your desktop
all you have to do is open the Explorer
window then look for the onedrive link
in the left pane as you can see I only
have a couple things in my folder but
that's about to change to move something
to onedrive your first step is to find
the files you want wherever they're
located on your computer here's where
your experience will vary if you have a
Mac or a different version of Windows
the operating system I'm using is
Windows 10 now all you have to do is
drag and drop from the current folder
over to onedrive and the file will be
uploaded instantly to your account you
can even drag and drop an entire folder
which is a great way to save time now we
can access the files here or online from
any computer
here they are in the web version of
onedrive whenever you want to open one
of these files you can do it from your
browser or right here on your desktop
just double-click the file you want
office files like Word Excel and
PowerPoint will always open in the
desktop version if you have Microsoft
Office on your computer when you close
the file Microsoft will automatically
save it and sync it back to onedrive so
you don't have to keep track of multiple
copies that way you always have access
to the most recent version no matter
where you are uploading files on the web
without the onedrive app is just as easy
I'm going to show you two different
methods the first is drag and drop to
get started navigate to the original
file on your computer then drag and drop
from the folder into your browser window
and that's all it takes if you have an
older browser this method may not work
for you but don't worry you can always
use the upload button instead here you
can easily pick and choose the files you
want to upload to select more than one
file at a time hold ctrl on your
keyboard while you click when you're
done click open it may take a minute if
you're uploading multiple files
and there we go as you can see onedrive
is a great place to store all of your
favorite files so you can access them
anytime now you know how to upload files
on the web and using the folder on your
desktop
