If you wish to take a backup or copy of all your OneDrive files, you have 2 methods for obtaining a copy of your data. You can simply copy files from your laptop straight to USB external storage or you can use the OneDrive web interface to download a zip file with all your data as shown below. This process can also be performed from a personal machine if you wish to download your files directly to your own computer.
Access OneDrive web interface by browsing to the URL https://wccsnsweduau-My.SharePoint.com. If you're using a personal device with other Microsoft accounts, you may need to perform this process via an incognito tab.
Sign in using your school credentials, and complete MFA if prompted.
Select the folders you wish to download by ticking the box to the left of their name. We recommend selecting at a minimum the "Desktop" and "Documents" folders.
Click the "Download" button. Depending on your browser you may be prompted to select a location to the save the file, or it may automatically download to your default location.
Once the download is complete you can close your browser. To access your downloaded files, simply double click the zip file which will open and show you the folders your selected to download.
