Action

OneDrive for Business can be accessed by clicking on the OneDrive for Business Quick Link in MyUAlbany, by clicking on the App Launcher icon  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 hit enter:

  2. You will then be redirected to the UAlbany login page.  Enter your NetID or UAlbany Mail email address and password and click Sign in:

  3. The first time you connect to OneDrive for Business, your OneDrive for Business space will be set up and you will be prompted to set up social features. Click No Thanks to ignore for now or OK to set up.

  4. Soon after that, you will be presented with your OneDrive for Business space.  Your OneDrive for Business space is configured and ready to be used. 

There are several avenues for getting connected to OneDrive for Business, depending on the computer or device you are using.  Consider trying out all the avenues that apply to you so you can get the most out of OneDrive for Business.
