OneDrive for MNPS
Protect yourself from losing your school work!
What is Microsoft OneDrive?
Microsoft OneDrive is an application that will automatically save the contents of your computer’s hard drive to your MNPS Office 365 account. OneDrive will protect your documents (school work) in the event of a computer disaster.
In other words, if your MNPS computer breaks, you will not lose all of your school work as long as your work was saved to OneDrive.
How do I save my school work to OneDrive?
Go to the bottom right corner of your computer screen. If you see a blue cloud, you are signed in to OneDrive. You are all set and your files are already saving to OneDrive.
If you see a GRAY cloud, you are not signed in. Click on the gray cloud to sign in.
Once you click on the Gray cloud, sign into OneDrive with your MNPS email and password
- Enter your MNPS email address and click "Sign In" when prompted.
- Click "Work or School".
- Enter your password and click "Sign In" when prompted.
