Office 365 - Accessing OneDrive

OneDrive is a part of your Office 365 account that provides file hosting service, allowing you to upload files and access them from a web browser.  As a member of myNMSU, OneDrive also allows you to share files with other myNMSU account holders and work on documents simultaneously.  See below for guidelines on storing and sharing campus files in OneDrive.

OneDrive is only accessible through the Outlook Web App.  You cannot access OneDrive through the Outlook desktop client.
