Some departments share files through SharePoint/OneDrive.  Links to the shared file are often sent by email to the user to access the shared file.  Sometimes the links are stripped from the email...when that happens we can go to the BU Portal to find the files that were shared with you.

  1. Open a web browser and in the address/URL field type:  portal.brandonu.ca
  2. You will be prompted to enter your BU Email Address and Password


  3. Click OneDrive from the program icons on the left hand side of the screen (even if the file was shared through SharePoint, select OneDrive)
  4. On the left hand side of the screen select Shared
  5. Files and Folders shared with you will be listed on the right-hand screen.  Example:
  6. Choose a folder or file to open the content

  7. You can sync a folder to your computer by clicking the sync icon on the upper toolbar.  The folder will show in File Explorer (Windows computers) under Brandon University , or in Mac Finder, if you are using a Mac
