There are different ways that you can access OneDrive across devices.  This article is written from the perspective of using the OneDrive application in the web browser that is accessed from https://m365.cloud.microsoft/onedrive

JMU IT always recommends using the web application to upload files.  It is the preferred method to upload files over using the OneDrive sync client or mobile app that are better suited to access files that were already stored within Onedrive

1.  Login to your OneDrive account at https://m365.cloud.microsoft/onedrive

2.  Click Add New in the top-left corner of the screen and then select either Files upload or Folder upload.

3.  A new window will appear and allow you to select files or folders from your desktop, network drive location, other cloud storage locations, etc.

4.  You will see a confirmation window at the bottom of the page once your file(s) or folder(s) have been successfully uploaded.
