Introduction
OneDrive is Microsoft’s new personal file storage solution. You can sign into OneDrive on any PC or phone and get access to all of your saved documents anywhere. OneDrive acts as the other half to SharePoint. Where SharePoint is the department file storage replacement for iShare, OneDrive is the personal file storage replacement for “My SharePoint files” (Commonly referred to as your personal drive). There is also a new PC backup feature that automatically saves all files on your desktop and in your documents and photos folders to the cloud. Enabling this means that even if your PC was broken or lost all the files would be in the cloud and safe. In this guide I am going to walk you through how to set up OneDrive, add files to it, monitor the sync progress, backup your PC with it, and move all of your iShare “Personal Drive” files to it as well.
