How To Add a Work Account to the OneDrive Mobile App on Windows 10

 

Very recently Microsoft enabled their Windows 10 OneDrive consumer sync client with the ability to add a business/work account and allow you to sync that to your local PC or tablet.

This has been on the OneDrive for Business product teams roadmap since this time last year and now this updated sync client allows those connections through one client instead of two separate ones like it was before.

This simplifies the process of accessing both personal and work related files and the same thing can be done on the OneDrive Universal Windows Platform apps for the cloud storage service.

This how to will walk you through the steps of setting up your work account on the latest version of the OneDrive app for Windows mobile devices.

Since the desktop OneDrive UWP app is just like the mobile one you should be able to follow these same steps to add a work or school account in that app as well.

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
