Overview

While you can use the Network Drives when connected to CHHS Lab Computers, some folks will want to transfer files from their personal computer to the lab computers, or the other way around. To do this, we recommend using OneDrive.

To Log In to OneDrive

1. To access OneDrive, open a Web Browser and navigate to portal.office.com. Once there, enter in your eName@colostate.edu. Note: do not use your first.last@colostate.edu or any form of your @rams.colostate.edu accounts. You must use eName@colosate.edu. This will work to log in even if you do not have an eName@colostate.edu email address.
