3. Once you have reached the SharePoint page click on SharePoint Drive.  


4.  Now find your main level folder on the page. For this example, we will choose the KBArticles folder. 


5.  In other folders, like CSI (Pictured below) there are multiple SharePoint Drive folders. Each folder from this page will need to be synced separately if you want to view them in your file explorer. Double click on a SharePoint Drive to open it. Note: You will be able to see all folder icons, but you can only access the SharePoint Drives that you have permission. If permission is needed you will need to contact your departmental DAC.

7.  You will then get two pop up boxes. Click ‘Open Microsoft OneDrive’. The next box will say Getting Ready to Sync. If you are not already signed into OneDrive on your computer, you will also get a prompt asking you to sign in. 

Circle around the open option for the pop-up


8. You should get a pop-up notification from OneDrive that the files are syncing. In Finder, you will see a folder icon that says emporia.edu after it. This is where SharePoint will sync. Each SharePoint Drive that you sync will be listed here separately.
