If you use a Mac computer on campus, make sure you are signed in to the OneDrive client app so that any files you have saved to your Documents or Desktop are automatically synced to OneDrive. Other files or folders (i.e., things stored outside of Documents and Desktop) will have to be manually moved to your OneDrive.
Step-By-Step Guide
You can use the Copy and Paste commands to copy your files/folders to OneDrive. Once your files/folder have been successfully copied, they can be deleted from the original (source) location.
- Open Finder and navigate to the folder where the files are stored.
- Select the files or folders that you want to move. To select all files and folders within a folder, click Select All from the Edit menu (or press Command+A).
Tip! To select a number of sequential files or folders, click the first item, press and hold down the Shift key, and then click the last item. To select a number of non-sequential files or folders, click the first item, press and hold down the Command key while you click on the items that you want to select.
- With the items selected, select Copy from the Edit menu (or press Command+C).
