Much like Dropbox or Google Drive, OneDrive for Business allows you to store documents online allowing you to access your files from almost anywhere that has an internet connection.

What are Microsoft Office Web Apps?

Bundled into your OneDrive account are Microsoft’s Office Web Applications which include Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote. Files are saved using standard Office extensions, such as docx, so there will be no compatibility issues when viewing your files with the desktop version of Office. All files are automatically saved in your OneDrive account so you can access them from almost any web enabled device through your browser.

To access OneDrive on your mobile phone:

• You may initially be taken to the EagleConnect mobile site. Please click on Log-in.
• iPhone: Your iPhone browser should display a mobile version of your EagleConnect Inbox. To access OneDrive click on the symbol, select …Office 365, and choose OneDrive.
