Okay, in this video, we're going to look at how to upload a file into your OneDrive, and then how we can download that file after we have shared it, and email it out to the people that we want to have it. 

So I'm here in my OneDrive under my files, I'll pair it the top of the file. You can see there's no, again, that's how we get to our applications, but we're going to click upload, it's going to be the option to upload an entire folder or individual files. We're going to go ahead and click files. And then it's going to bring up your most recent use within your finder. So if you have saved something on your desktop, you can click desktop and add. Access documents and, and different files that are on your desktop. For me, I'm going to utilize meeting on schedule. It's one of my Excel files. I'm going to click it and open. And you can see up here, it has been uploaded into my one drive and then it's the one at the top because it's the one that is the most recent. You can see that hasn't been shared with anybody. It's private. So if I needed to share this with somebody. Same process we walked through on the previous video and click the share button, type in who I want this document to be shared with a message. If I want and make sure that it is shared with the people that. I want it to be specifically either in Knox County schools or outside of schools and I need to change that. 

Okay. The next thing I want to do is make sure that this goes into the right folder so I don't just leave it as a loose document so I'm going to put it into the test folder. I'm going to go ahead and click on test and so there's the different documents that we've moved into our test folder thus far. And now I'm going to click these ellipse buttons here. And I get this list of options. I can always move out of this folder, I can make a copy of it into a different folder. I can rename the document. I can favorite it so that I can access it in my favorites page there. I can copy the link and email the link to someone. If I'd rather do that instead of typing in their email, I can do all those different things.  

Here, what I want to show you now is let's say that you get this document into your OneDrive and instead of sharing the document with someone, you actually want to just email them a version of the document. I can always go to download and it's going to download that file just like normal and now I can go over into my email, start a new email, and I can begin to insert and attach the file. Okay, once I'm in. My outlook, I can always click attach file and browse this computer and there's the document that I just downloaded from OneDrive. Or within Microsoft Outlook, you can always attach a file straight from your OneDrive.

 So I can click OneDrive, recent and there is the recent document that we utilized and all the other documents that I have access to within My OneDrive. So that's the, The great thing, the communication between Outlook and Your OneDrive is once documents are in your OneDrive, you can simply and easily locate them in your email and send them out using Outlook.
