Action

OneDrive for Business can be accessed by clicking on the OneDrive Quick Link in MyUAlbany, by clicking on the App Launcher icon image-20241115-194848.png  in UAlbany Mail and then selecting OneDrive, or by typing this address in any web browser: https://livealbany.onedrive.com.

"OneDrive" often appears as an abbreviation of "OneDrive for Business". This should not be confused with Microsoft's consumer OneDrive service, which is not affiliated with the University.

Instructions

  1. If presented with a login screen from Microsoft as below, enter your UAlbany Mail email address and click Next
