Login to Your Microsoft Account to Ensure Your File is Synced to One Drive (Including Computer Labs)

About

In this article we review how to login to your Microsoft Account in any of the applications on the Microsoft suite to ensure your file is synced to your One Drive account.

Environment

Microsoft Office locally installed. This includes computer lab computers. This refers to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.

Steps

  • Open your desired Microsoft application as you normally would.
  • Toggle AutoSave on at the top left by dragging the toggle right.

  • A window will pop up asking you to Sign in. Click Sign In at the bottom right of this window.

  • Enter your email address and click Next at the next prompt.

  • You may need to click the AutoSave toggle again to save the file now.

  • You will be prompted to name your file and select your desired location. OneDrive-manhattan.edu or a folder within OneDrive-manhattan.edu is recommended.

Hint: (Always check to ensure AutoSave is on. You may need to sign in periodically on the same device. You will always need to sign in for each session on a computer lab computer.)
