How to Sync Files in a SharePoint Site Using the OneDrive Sync Client
Make sure that you have already configured the OneDrive sync client on your computer and that you are currently signed in. You should see the blue OneDrive cloud icon in your Windows taskbar or Mac’s menu bar.
1. Sign in to Office 365 via a web browser (https://portal.office.com).
2. Click on the SharePoint icon to view your Frequent Sites. If the site you are looking for is not shown, you can search for it, or go to Susquehanna’s SharePoint directory at https://susqu.sharepoint.com
3. Click on the Site that you would like to sync to your computer.
4. Click on Documents on the left side of the page to view all of your Site’s files.
5. Once you are in the Document section of the SharePoint site, click on the Sync button on the menu bar at the top of the page. You will see a message that your files are getting ready to sync. Your browser will prompt you to open the OneDrive application on your computer. Click on “Open OneDrive” or “Open Link” to start the sync.
6. You may say a notification that your files are syncing.
NOTE: By default, all documents in the SharePoint site will sync. If your computer supports Files on Demand, you are done. If your computer does not support the Files on Demand feature, you may need to follow the below instructions for choosing individual folders to sync. If you have questions about Files on Demand or whether your computer supports it, please contact the IT Help Desk.
7. Click on the OneDrive icon on your computer’s taskbar (or Mac’s menu bar), click on More, and open Settings.
8. Under the Account tab, find the SharePoint site that you would like to manage, and click on Change folders.
9. From here, you can choose which folders to sync to your computer. If you choose not to sync a folder, you can still access it through the Office 365 portal.
