OneDrive for Business - Frequently Asked Questions
OneDrive is useful for accessing your data from anywhere you have an internet connection as well as from various mobile devices. OneDrive offers 1TB of storage per user as well as real-time collaboration.
To access your OneDrive account, go to http://outlook.com/shorinji-kempo.net and sign-in with your Logan email address and password. Once you sign-in, click the Apps button in the upper left hand corner and select OneDrive. This is your document depository. The first time you login, it may take a few minutes to setup your account.
OneDrive is an off-premise cloud-based solution. What that means is that your files are stored in a data center off-campus. While the University has a signed Business Associates Agreement (BAA) with Microsoft, you need to be cautious about putting sensitive data in the cloud. If you have the need to share sensitive data, talk to your supervisor and turn on auditing. This will give you (and the University) a way to track what happened if there is a problem. A better solution would be to use your network drive, but if you must share sensitive data, auditing will give you an added layer of protection.
To turn auditing on, go to the “gear” icon (upper right hand corner) and select Site Settings. Under Site Collection Administration, go to Site Collection Audit Settings and specify which things to audit. ITS recommends you check all of the boxes under “Documents and Items” and “Lists, Libraries, and Sites.”
After logging into OneDrive, select “New” and then select “Folder.”
Log onto your account and click the Apps button in the upper left hand corner then select OneDrive. Drag and drop files into the specified area or click “Upload” and browse for the files you would like to upload.
To share a file, click on the three dots next to the folder name (…) or click on the “lock” symbol. Select “Invite Others”. To invite a user, type in the user’s last name and select from the directory. You can only share files with other Logan students, faculty and staff.
To share a folder, click on the three dots next to the folder name (…) or click on the “lock” symbol. Select “Share or Invite Others”. To invite a user, type in the user’s last name and select from the directory.
Highlight the file name and select the “group” symbol (looks like three users). You can see who you have shared a file with from here. You can also click the three dots next to the file name and it will open up the “Share with” section.
Yes, OneDrive can do real-time online collaboration. You have to open the document in Office Web Apps. In the upper right hand corner, you will see when someone is also editing the file. You will see a flag while the other person is typing.
Yes, you can create a new document by clicking “New” and then selecting the type of document you want to create. It will automatically use Office Web Apps to create the document. You can switch to using your “full” Office application (e.g. Word) by going to the File menu and click on “open in Word”. This will give you the full functionality of your local Office apps.

When you delete a file, it goes into the recycle bin for 90 days. After 90 days, it gets deleted permanently. To get a file back from the recycle bin, go to the “gear” in the upper right hand corner and select “Site Contents”. The recycle bin is on the right. You may restore a file from there or permanently delete a file.
There is a OneDrive for Business App for both iOS and Android.
Once you start the app it will ask you for credentials. Use the following format as your user name: firstname.lastname@shorinji-kempo.net. For your password use your Email/Self-Serve password.
