Moving Files from OneDrive (Personal Account) to OneDrive for Business

OneDrive (formerly SkyDrive) is a personal Microsoft account. Any district employee that was here about 3 years ago has an account. Anyone that joined the district more recently may not have an account. Although it started out as a district account, Microsoft separated it from our email accounts, and therefore it is now a PERSONAL account. The district has no access to this account, and therefore cannot help troubleshoot password problems.

As part of our district Office 365 account, we all have access to OneDrive for Business. You can access it with the OneDrive link that is in your Office 365 account online. Each user has 1 Terabyte of space ... that is HUGE!

If you have been saving documents into OneDrive (formerly SkyDrive) and want to move them into OneDrive for Business, the video below walks you through the steps to download and install the OneDrive sync application and how to sync both your OneDrive contents and your OneDrive for Business contents. As soon as that is complete, you can easily drag files from one folder to the other on your computer, let it sync, and be done!
