    Office 365: OneDrive (Getting Started)



    What is OneDrive?


    It is essentially your personal online storage. It is very similar to Google Drive, Dropbox and other online storage services. This one is WCSD officially supported and hosted by Microsoft Corp. All communications are encrypted to and from this Online Service. In order to access this service you MUST have a district email account as well as have an Office 365 License assigned to you. As of April 2014, every staff member District-Wide that has an email account has an assigned license and can access OneDrive immediately.

    How does it work and where is it accessible from? In short: this product runs on any internet connected web-browser, from almost any “device” (ie: PC desktop, laptop, tablet as well as Mobile phones and tablets running Apple’s iOS, Android, Windows phone OS, Blackberry, etc.) This Online Service is platform-agnostic. In addition to being able to access and run this from a web-browser, there are mobile apps that particularly target aspects of this Online Service. Through your OneDrive you will be able to open MS Office docs in the web-browser or mobile app and edit them there as well as share documents with select district users that are part of this system.



    Note that your OneDrive is just “Microsoft-speak” for your personal Sharepoint Online “My Site”, hence the ‘-my’ in the url.

    Logging into your OneDrive



    If you are on your Windows PC inside the district network:




    1. Open Internet Explorer (this is a Microsoft product so it works best in its native browser)

    And browse to https://washoeschools-my.sharepoint.com, your browser window will be taken to https://login.microsoftonline.com/..... Type in your district email address and then hit the Enter key on your keyboard



    And you will be redirected back to your Personal Newsfeed. If you get a Federation Pop-up asking for your username and password, click here.



    Then you can click on “OneDrive” in the top Link Bar to get to your OneDrive, essentially your “My Site Sharepoint: Document Library”. In the event you do not see the top-bar links (this happens sometimes on some mobile devices), just click on any available link and the top bar will show up. Below pic is what your OneDrive page/my site should resemble.




    If you are using a Mac or other non-windows device that is not attached to our Washoe windows domain:


    It is the same procedure as if you are on a windows device as described above, with the exception that you will get the federation pop-up window asking you for your credentials; click here for an explanation of how to enter your credentials there.

    Please note that for the moment, only the Safari web browser seems to work with Office 365 on a mac...as well as on iDevices (phones and pads).


    If you are on an Android phone or tablet:


    Feel free to use any browser on your device to access your OneDrive. You will need to enter WASHOE\username into the federation pop-up box. There is a handy app MS came out with called “Office Mobile”. Once you download it from the Playstore, when you run the app, choose the “Office 365” option and login using your full email address as the username. You will be able then to view/download/edit MS Office docs in your OneDrive directly in the app. You can also “Add a place” as well: your “consumer grade” OneDrive (attached to a @live.com or @hotmail.com account) and Sharepoint Online site collections as well!

    Windows Phones and Blackberrys:


    Office Mobile and OneDrive are built in to the Windows Mobile OS and are self-explanatory to use as they are native to the OS. I have not yet had the option to try Office 365 on a Blackberry but from my research have found there are no apps made for Blackberry for Office 365 and you need to use your devices web browser to access your OneDrive from that angle. This goes for any other devices that are internet connected and that allow you to run web-browsers on it.
