OneDrive Web

Sign in to OneDrive on the web

Open your work files in a browser and learn the main areas.

Before you start

  • Your own Initech work email address and password.
  • Your phone for Microsoft Authenticator, if your sign-in asks for it.
  • An internet connection.

Follow these steps

0 of 8 steps done
  1. Open your web browser

    Use an up-to-date Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome window. Click the address bar at the top, where website addresses appear.

  2. Open the company shortcut

    Type https://onedrive.initechwa.com.au and press Enter, if the office has confirmed this shortcut is ready. The shortcut has not been verified for this guide.

  3. Use the Microsoft fallback if needed

    If the shortcut does not work, open https://m365.cloud.microsoft/ (also www.microsoft365.com). Sign in, open Apps or the nine-dot app launcher, then select OneDrive.

  4. Sign in with your work identity

    Use your full Initech email address and work password. Choose Work or school account if asked, then complete the Authenticator check.

  5. Check who is signed in

    Click your profile picture or initials at the top-right. Make sure the displayed email is your work account. On a shared computer, do not save your password or remain signed in.

  6. Learn the main views

    Open My files to browse your own folders. Shared shows shared items; Home highlights recent activity. Company libraries may appear through Shared libraries, Quick access or SharePoint.

  7. Open a file or find one

    Click a folder name to open it, or use the search box at the top. Click a document name to preview or open it in its web app.

  8. Sign out on a shared computer

    When finished, click your profile picture/initials > Sign out, then close the browser windows. Signing out of the website does not sign out other installed apps.

You have finished when…

  • You can see the work account’s file list and open a document.

Helpful tips

  • The company web address is a shortcut, not a separate OneDrive account. Your work email is the same account used in Outlook and Teams.
  • If there is no OneDrive tile, use All apps/Apps and search for OneDrive, then ask the office to check your licence if it is still missing.

Something looks different?

The company shortcut will not load.

Use m365.cloud.microsoft → Apps → OneDrive and tell the office which shortcut failed. Do not ignore a browser certificate warning.

It opens a personal account.

Use the profile menu to sign out, or open a private/InPrivate window, and sign in with the work account.
