Did you know you can use OneDrive for more
than just Office Online?

00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:17.910
You can also upload files like photos, videos,
music, and more, so you can access them from

00:00:17.910 --> 00:00:19.770
any computer.

00:00:19.770 --> 00:00:25.020
There are two ways to upload files to OneDrive:
from your desktop, and from the web.

00:00:25.020 --> 00:00:29.080
In this video, I'm going to show you how to
do both.

00:00:29.080 --> 00:00:32.529
If you’ve already installed the OneDrive
app, you should have everything you need to

00:00:32.529 --> 00:00:35.980
sync and upload files straight from your desktop.

00:00:35.980 --> 00:00:40.930
All you have to do is open the Explorer window…
then look for the OneDrive link in the left

00:00:40.930 --> 00:00:42.570
pane.

00:00:42.570 --> 00:00:46.940
As you can see, I only have a couple things
in my folder, but that’s about to change.

00:00:46.940 --> 00:00:50.830
To move something to OneDrive, your first
step is to find the files you want, wherever

00:00:50.830 --> 00:00:53.500
they’re located on your computer.

00:00:53.500 --> 00:00:58.350
Here your experience will vary if you have
a Mac or a different version of Windows.

00:00:58.350 --> 00:01:01.950
The operating system I’m using is Windows
10.

00:01:01.950 --> 00:01:06.640
Now all you have to do is drag and drop from
the current folder… over to OneDrive…

00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:10.750
and the file will be uploaded instantly to
your account.

00:01:10.750 --> 00:01:16.240
You can even drag and drop an entire folder,
which is a great way to save time.

00:01:16.240 --> 00:01:22.850
Now we can access the files here—or online,
from any computer.

00:01:22.850 --> 00:01:27.729
Here they are in the web version of.

00:01:27.729 --> 00:01:31.540
Whenever you want to open one of these files,
you can do it from your browser, or right

00:01:31.540 --> 00:01:33.350
here on your desktop.

00:01:33.350 --> 00:01:36.939
Just double-click the file you want.

00:01:36.939 --> 00:01:42.380
Office files (like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint)
will always open in the desktop version, if

00:01:42.380 --> 00:01:44.880
you have Microsoft Office on your computer.

00:01:44.880 --> 00:01:49.570
When you close the file, Microsoft will automatically
save it, and sync it back to OneDrive, so

00:01:49.570 --> 00:01:52.640
you don't have to keep track of multiple.

00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:58.649
That way, you always have access to the most
recent version, no matter where you are.

00:01:58.649 --> 00:02:02.549
Uploading files on the web (without the OneDrive
app) is just as easy.

00:02:02.549 --> 00:02:07.060
I'm going to show you two different methods—the
first is drag & drop.

00:02:07.060 --> 00:02:12.360
To get started, navigate to the original file
on your.

00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:19.560
Then drag & drop from the folder, into your
browser window… and that's all it takes.

00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:22.770
If you have an older browser, this method
may not work for you.

00:02:22.770 --> 00:02:26.750
But don't worry—you can always use the Upload
button instead.

00:02:26.750 --> 00:02:30.970
Here you can easily pick and choose the files
you want to.

00:02:30.970 --> 00:02:36.720
To select more than one file at a time, hold
CTRL on your keyboard while you click.

00:02:36.720 --> 00:02:39.840
When you're done, click Open.

00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:42.500
It may take a minute if you're uploading multiple
files.

00:02:42.500 --> 00:02:44.920
You can watch their progress here.

00:02:44.920 --> 00:02:46.090
And there we go!

00:02:46.090 --> 00:02:50.200
As you can see, OneDrive is a great place
to store all your favorite files, so you can

00:02:50.200 --> 00:02:52.340
access them anytime.

00:02:52.340 --> 00:02:56.320
Now you know how to upload files on the web,
and using the folder on your desktop.
