Summary
This article describes how to access OneDrive with your USNH account on a desktop/laptop computer or mobile device.
The Microsoft 365 Office portal (formerly known as portal.office.com) has been redesigned and rebranded as the Microsoft 365 Copilot App. One notable change is the removal of the traditional Waffle app launcher from the main home page - it’s now only available within individual app pages. This article provides two methods for logging into OneDrive, either directly, or using the Microsoft365 CoPilot App.

Important! Your USNH OneDrive for work or school account is not intended as the primary source for storing large amounts of department owned data (like SharePoint). It does NOT retain permanency, and is subject to deletion when your employment or student status expires. For more information please see:
