Get started with SharePoint

When you sign in to Office 365, or your organization’s corporate intranet site, you’ll see links to Newsfeed, OneDrive, and Sites in the app launcher navigation. These are your entry points into SharePoint.

Organizations use SharePoint to create websites. You can use it as a secure place to store, organize, share, and access information from almost any device. All you need is a web browser, such as Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox.

  • Newsfeed    Stay tuned into conversations among your coworkers, and updates about their activities. Get started with Newsfeed.

NOTE:  If your organization uses Yammer for its enterprise social network, then you may see a link to Yammer instead of Newsfeed. Learn more about Yammer.

  • OneDrive for Business    Your own place to keep work documents and other files. When you store your files on OneDrive for Business only you can see them, but you can easily share them with coworkers and access them from your mobile device. Get started with OneDrive for Business.
  • Sites    Easily find and access sites you’re following, and quickly create new team sites. Learn more about following sites and creating sites.
  • Settings     Where you’ll find additional site actions for customizing your SharePoint sites.
