Managing Microsoft 365 OneDrive/Teams Files and Folders

As you start to utilize all the Microsoft modern workplace applications, it becomes a daunting task of where to go to easily find files you own, files you shared with, other people’s files that were shared with you as well as Microsoft teams files. The below guide will help you navigate all the options you have with managing your files.

1. Navigate to my.mines.edu and search for Microsoft OneDrive. Click to open. This will be your one stop shop for any and all files. On this first section, you can search for any file/folders across your personal OneDrive, as well as files shared with you.  

2. There are two features to pay attention to here: 
   1. Shared: here, you can see what was shared with you and files you have shared out. You can manage each file differently.
   2. Shortcuts: As seen below, you can even add shortcuts to files that have been shared to you.
   3. Recycling bin: This is where your data goes when you delete certain items from your OneDrive.

3. In the left hand menu, there is a section that allows you to browse files by the people that you collaborate with, meetings you've attended, and the kind of media you've shared.

4. Below the Browse files by section, there's a Quick Access section that shows all of the MS Teams you are a part of and the files that are within those Teams. This is a nice way of seeing all Teams and files you are a part of.
