OneDrive in Depth Live Online Learning Course

Course Overview

We are currently only able to offer online sessions for private bookings. Please get in touch for more information, pricing and availability.

What you will learn

Please note that we will be using Office 365 for Business, rather than the standard Home version of Office.

This course will be taught online over two 90-minute sessions. It will highlight the Office 365 Portal and will give you some background on all the Apps available (although this session focuses on OneDrive). 

You will look at what the Cloud means for the way you work and how to access the Portal and the 365 tools from multiple devices for more flexible working.

Within OneDrive, you will take an indepth look at Sharing documents, so you can control who has access to your documents and what permissions they have. It also covers synchronising files, which can be a much easier and more flexible way to work with OneDrive.
