How to Open Files from OneDrive with 3 Simple Methods

You can access your OneDrive files from anywhere, but sometimes you just need to open them directly on your device. To do this, you can use the OneDrive app on your computer or mobile device.

First, make sure you have the OneDrive app installed on your device. If you don't have it, you can download it from the Microsoft website.

To open a file from OneDrive, simply navigate to the OneDrive folder on your device and double-click on the file you want to open.

Opening files in OneDrive is a straightforward process. You can access and share files with ease.

To open a OneDrive document, right-click the document and select the Open command. From there, choose to open the document in the browser or in the app.

If you already have a document opened in the MS Office suite, you can open it directly in the app without any issues. To do this, open any MS Office application, go to File, and then select Open to see the SharePoint site and OneDrive link.

This option is not as well-known as the others, but it's still a convenient way to access your files.
