How do I switch from my personal Onedrive account to my UGA Onedrive account?

Answer

If your windows computer has a Onedrive link in your taskbar, it's probably Onedrive personal, which is created automatically when you setup your computer. Storage is very limited in Onedrive personal, so if you're syncing with it, you'll probably run out of space soon, unless you purchase more space.

If you'd like to switch your syncing to your UGA Onedrive account, which has 1 TB of storage, you can do so. Just be aware that you'll need to stop this syncing soon after you graduate, as that account will expire about a year after you leave UGA. 

The first step is to click the Onedrive icon on the lower right of your screen, then click the Settings icon in the window that opens.

Next, click to Add an account, and enter your UGA email information. After this, you'll see the folder on your computer that is syncing to Onedrive, and be able to make any changes to that and your backup options.
