Good morning Jaws Users group,
Many of my group members wanted to know how to use OneDrive.
I decided to share these notes with you.
Below is the way I do it in w-10 with Jaws.
How to set up and use the OneDrive back up for yourself and how to share a
folder with others.
Open your personal folder link under the start area if you have it set up that
way, go down to OneDrive, press enter.
Or, type OneDrive into the search edit box, press enter on OneDrive desktop app.
Or, if OneDrive is on your Taskbar, press enter on it there, or press its
shortcut keystroke windows key+the number of its order on the Taskbar.
Or, press the windows key, up arrow to, All apps, press enter.
Down arrow to the A's, tab one time, down arrow to the O, press enter twice,
you will be in the programs and apps starting with O, press enter on OneDrive.
Now you will be in a list of default OneDrive folders, that you can use, or you
can create your own folders in OneDrive.
In this example, I will create my own folder under the main default folder list
of OneDrive.
While you are in the list of default folders under the main OneDrive folder
list.
1. Press Control+shift+N, for new folder.
2. In this example, I will type the name, "Jaws users", then press enter to
create this new folder.
3. Copy the files or folders you wish to back-up, and paste them into this new
Jaws Users folder.
Do the same thing if you wish to share this folder with others by a OneDrive
link , copy and paste any files into this new folder.
Now we need to sink our OneDrive folders if you wish too, you do not have to
sink your OneDrive folders if you do not want too.
4. Highlight the new folder, in my case, Jaws users, do not press enter.
5. Press the applications key, down arrow to, Choose OneDrive folders to sink,
press enter.
6. Now, you can choose a check-box to sink all folders.
Or, uncheck this, tab to the list view of folders, only check the folders you
wish to sink to your computer by pressing the Spacebar.
After checking all the folders you wish to sink, tab to OK, press enter.
Now, How to share this new OneDrive folder and its contents, with others
through a OneDrive link.
7. Now, highlight your new folder, in my case, Jaws users, do not press enter.
8. Press the Applications key, go down to, Share a OneDrive link, press enter.
By pressing Enter, This automatically pastes, a OneDrive link to this folder,
that you can share with others, into the clipboard.
9. Now, open an email to the person you wish to give access to this OneDrive
folder and all its content, in my case the Jaws users list.
10. Paste the OneDrive link into the email, this will give that person a link
to access the folder you are sharing with them.
What does it mean to sink your OneDrive folders?
When you choose to sink your OneDrive folders on your computer.
You have a copy of these files online, on your OneDrive page.
You also place a copy of these files in your OneDrive folder.
Now, the advantage of doing it this way is:
When you are inside the OneDrive folder and inside a text file in one of your
shared folders, for example.
Whatever changes you make to that text document, are automatically changed in
the text document stored in OneDrive.
Can I use the default folders of OneDrive, to place my audio or text files into
for back up, or for sharing with others?
Yes, you can use them the same way, as I explained above.
OneDrive is a cool and easy way, to share large audio or text files with others.
Microsoft gives each person a free 15 GB's of storage space on OneDrive.
I am currently sharing three OneDrive links to three different folders on my
OneDrive on my computer, with no issues.
If any of you still have questions about using OneDrive, please let me know.
Love God! with your heart, mind, and soul, that you might be blessed reaching
His goal.
Love your Neighbor as you would yourself, God will truly reward you with good
health.
Love God, your neighbor, as you love yourself, you will then be spiritually
balanced with wealth.
Love His Word that proceeds from His lips, then reflect on the heavens where
God sits.
Jim
