  2. Click on Sync at the top menu

  3. If prompted, choose Open Microsoft OneDrive

    1. NOTE: If you do not have OneDrive installed, click on Get the latest version of OneDrive

  4. Open your File Explorer

  5. Once it has successfully synced, you’ll find the folder under:

    1. SharePoint: University of Waterloo
