How to save your MS-Office files on SkyDrive
- Having to work on important documents from different locations – including office, classroom, and home – and getting tired of lugging thumb drives around (or worried about losing or inadvertently destroying them)?
- Use your university email and your password from last June (this one does not get force-updated every 90 days any more, you can manage it yourself).
- Upload your important files:
- Drag and drop, e.g. a PowerPoint file:
- Click the file – e.g. a Word file – to view it in your web browser.
- To edit the file , while viewing, click top menu: “Edit document”. Choose between editing it in the browser (has still some – ever fewer – limitations for complex documents)
- You will have to log in again (on a non-shared computer I prefer to choose to be “signed in automatically”).
- You have to click “Enable Editing” again, but then you are in your familiar MS-Word environment.
- No need to re-upload the file: Save and close your file, when you open it again in the web browser, it got synched automatically:
- To keep an additional local file backup, use the free MS-SkyDrive App which sets up a local copy of your MS-SkyDrive cloud storage – useful when you have to work offline (e.g. I used to travel every weekend on a plane, but needed to make good use of my travel time).
- Troubleshooting: If you run into problems, the first thing to try usually is a different web browser.
