Intro to Office 365 and OneDrive

OneDrive is part of Office 365 and is an online (cloud) file storage application providing 1TB of storage space. Your files can be shared with others and are accessible from any device connected to the Internet.

You can create a document on your office or home computer, save it to OneDrive, and edit the same file on another device. All applications available can be used online across multiple platforms (PC and mobile).

There are two ways to access the Office 365 suite: 1) log into your LLCC Email account via the web and click the Office 365 link in the upper left, or 2) you can access this directly at https://portal.office.com and log in with your South Plains College Email address. If prompted, choose the Work or School Account option.
