About this article

This article includes instructions for accessing your OneDrive for Business using your favorite web browser. It is intended for students and employees.

Where is your OneDrive for Business?

Your OneDrive for Business is a storage folder located in the cloud, which is a different way of saying it's located on a Microsoft network server somewhere off campus that you can access via the Internet. Given that your OneDrive for Business exists in the cloud, it makes sense that one way to access it would be using a web browser on a device connected to the Internet.

How to access your OneDrive for Business using a browser

From any browser go to http://sky.winona.edu. Login with your StarID and password.
Click on the OneDrive icon

OR

Open your browser and navigate to WSU's home page (http://www.winona.edu). Go to the Resource tab and click on Office365&Email.

Sign into your Microsoft account with your StarID@minnstate.edu or StarID@go.minnstate.edu and password

Click on the OneDrive icon

OR

Open your browser and navigate to http://outlook.office.com.
Log into your Microsoft Office 365 account with your StarID and password

Click on OneDrive from the panel of apps:

Tablet access

You can access your OneDrive for Business using the browser on your tablet. However, if you have an iPad and/or iPhone or Android, then it is best to use the OneDrive app.
