Move Files to Your OneDrive Account

    Once your OneDrive account has been connected, you will be able to add files directly to your OneDrive account through the File Explorer and will be backed up. Please follow these directions to move files or folders to your OneDrive account:

    1. Click on the File Explorer icon (yellow folder) from your Task Bar.

    You will now see your OneDrive account connected on the left side bar of the File Explorer window.

    2. Locate the file(s) and or folder(s) you want to move to your OneDrive account within the File Explorer window. Then click and drag them to your OneDrive account on the left side bar of the File Explorer window (as shown above).

    Your files will now be copied to your OneDrive account. Once they are in your OneDrive account, the backup cycle will cue every 15 minutes.

    3. Click on the cloud icon in the lower left-hand corner. 

    This will display the files that are in the process of backing up (along with where it is in that process) or that have backed up (along with when the backup completed).
       

    Please Note: Although the backup cycle occurs every 15 minutes, the time it takes to complete the backup can range from minutes to hours, depending on the number and size of files. This process will occur in the background (as long as the device is powered on and being used). You can use the device as needed while it is backing up. If you close your device, the backup process will be paused until the next time your device is utilized.
