Sync Files with Windows OneDrive App

You can sync files from SharePoint to your computer so you can access them without opening the browser.

Download the OneDrive app and log in with your Microsoft account.

Navigate to the document library which you want to sync and press the Sync button found in the command ribbon.

Your OneDrive app will then connect to this library and when you open a Windows file explorer, you will see the library available.

Open a Synced File in the Web App

Synced files like Excel, Word and PowerPoint will open in the desktop application when you open them from the Windows file explorer.

You can easily open them in the Web app instead.

Right click on the file and choose View online from the options.
