OneDrive and File Management: Access Your Files Anywhere

OneDrive for Business

OneDrive for Business provides secure cloud storage for your work files. It syncs across all your devices so you can access your documents from anywhere.

Getting Started with OneDrive

1. Install OneDrive: It is pre-installed on all company devices. Look for the cloud icon in your system tray.
2. Sign In: Use your company email (name@alphadev.com.sa) and password.
3. Choose Folders to Sync: Select which folders you want available offline.
4. Save Files: Save your documents to OneDrive by selecting “Save As” and choosing OneDrive.

Best Practices

• Store work files in OneDrive, not on your desktop: Cloud files are backed up and accessible from any device
• Use “Files On-Demand”: See all your files in File Explorer without downloading them (saves disk space)
• Share files securely: Right-click any file and select “Share” to send a secure link with expiration dates
• Restore previous versions: Right-click a file and select “Version History” to recover older versions
• Empty your recycle bin: Regularly clean up to free storage space

OneDrive Tips

• Drag and drop files directly into your OneDrive folder in File Explorer
• Use the OneDrive mobile app to access files on your phone
• Scan documents using the OneDrive mobile app camera feature
• Personal Vault provides an extra layer of security for sensitive files
