  • Go to your file explorer
  • Select OneDrive on the left file menu
  • Select the Attachments folder
  • From there, you can move your files wherever you need to. (Or delete them!)
They're in a OneDrive folder!

If you downloaded a file from an email, it organizes itself into the Attachments folder in your OneDrive. To find downloaded email attachments:

Right click on your desktop background to bring up the menu. Select "Sort by" and then "Name" to place all your icons in alphabetical order.

  • Add your copy to your Starred files
    • Right click > Organize > Add to Starred
OR
  • Move your copy into a folder that holds all of your originals
    • Right click > Organize > Move
Can't find your files among student work?

Whether you're using Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, files downloaded from the Internet should populate in the Downloads folder on your computer. In both browsers, you can hit Ctrl+J to open your Downloads history to find the file. On your computer, find files in your File Explorer: Then locate your Downloads folder

Downloads

Right click on your desktop background to bring up the menu. Select "New" and then "Folder" to create a new folder. Click and drag the icons you want from your desktop into that folder.

Don't read an email unless you have the time to respond or follow-up appropriately, otherwise you may forget it's there! But if you absolutely need to save a message to deal with later:

  • Flag an email to mark it as important but keep it in the same place in your inbox
  • Pin an email to move it to the top of your inbox
When you've handled the email, file it in the appropriate folder or delete it if you don't need it.

OHIO: Only Handle It Once

Right click in your OneDrive to activate the menu. Select "New," then "Folder" to create a new folder. Give it a clear name. Then, click and drag the appropriate files into that folder.

Don't "Reply All" unless it's really necessary for EVERYONE to have that information. Usually, "Reply" is all that's truly needed -- but if it's a large group email, make sure you're replying to the right person by checking the name beside "To:" in your new email message!

Don't fill up everyone's inbox!
