By default, files and folders shared with you in OneDrive don't show up in the "My Files" section. Instead, they show up in the "Shared" section. Adding a folder to the "My Files" section will also add the folder to your file explorer, if you're signed into OneDrive. It is not possible to add a shared file to your "My Files" section - this feature only works for shared folders.

 

To Access Shared Files Section:

 

  1. Navigate to UC Login and login using your UC credentials. 
    UCLogin sign-in page
  2. Next, click on the Microsoft 365 tile.
