In order to simplify/speed up accessing and editing your files from home, please be reminded that whilst you are a member of staff or a student at Runshaw you do have your own OneDrive account. You are able to access this without using a Remote Desktop session. Here are some key points:
- Files saved to OneDrive are accessible both in college and at home
- OneDrive has a built in editor (when accessed via the web version) so Word, Excel etc look almost identical to the fully installed version (the files also autosave):
- This is particularly useful if you have had issues installing the Microsoft Office suite on your device
- To edit using the in-built editor simply click on the file within your OneDrive web and it will open within your web browser
- You can save files to OneDrive:
- Directly from within MS Office applications whilst on-site, simply click File, Save As and select OneDrive:
- Or drag existing files into the OneDrive folder or onto OneDrive web
- Click on the Upload button within OneDrive web and browse to the desired files
- Method of access:
- From home using the web version via the ‘My Runshaw’ page on the college website (your login details from home are the same as for Teams, Outlook and email; studentid@student.runshaw.ac.uk and your usual password
- From within college using the web version via the ‘My Runshaw’ page on the college website (on-site you shouldn’t have to enter your login credentials, it should log you straight in) as above (but we advise you use the in-built web editor in this case for editing existing files) or via the folder option within “Explorer”
If you are logged in on Remote Access, or on a PC in college, it would be worthwhile copying your files and folders onto OneDrive and make this your primary source of data storage moving forward.
Thank you & regards,
