Setting Up OneDrive on Workstation


Microsoft OneDrive offers a free, basic version that provides up to 5 GB of online cloud storage. It is not necessary to upgrade to any of the paid versions - the free basic edition satisfies The Edge requirements.

If you have never used OneDrive before, you will need to complete the following before proceeding:

Once installed, you must set up OneDrive on your Edge workstation:

  1. Locate the OneDrive icon in your Window's system tray (bottom right, by the clock).

  3. If this is your first time signing in you will be prompted to complete the setup wizard. Click your way through until it's completed. OneDrive will offer to upgrade you to the paid version - this is not required.

  9. Click on the Account tab. Verify the correct account is linked at the top. If no account shows as linked, use the Add an account button to link it now. If you had to link your account now, you may need to repeat steps 4 - 8.
