How to Use Microsoft OneDrive on a Chromebook

If you're an Office 365 Education account user, your administrator has the authority to decide which tools are available and which might not be turned on. Although Chromebooks were not designed with running Windows software in mind, any Chromebook with an Intel CPU can run a variety of Windows applications using the WINE emulator.

Once you log in, you'll see an option to access all your available Office tools and select the one you want to use. To access the Office Suite online, go to the Microsoft website and login with your personal or school credentials (check with your IT manager for more information). You can also utilize the free cloud version of Office, Microsoft Office Online, which is available as a series of apps on Chromebooks. Additionally, you can always use the native Google Drive to open and edit documents and spreadsheets.

All your Office 365 creations will be saved in your OneDrive account in the cloud, so you don't need to worry about saving them on your machine. With Google Play now available on Chromebooks, the Android versions of Microsoft Office are reportedly working correctly. These versions integrate with Microsoft's OneDrive online storage instead of Google Drive and do not support offline usage.

Microsoft also offers Office Online, which allows you to edit Office documents in a web browser. You can also view Excel and PowerPoint files on Chromebooks (and PDFs) - see here for more details. You can try out this feature by installing the Microsoft Word Online app from the Chrome Web Store or the Office Editing Chrome extension.

To edit Office files on your Chromebook, you have several options:

* Add the Office Editing Chrome extension to your browser.

* Install the Microsoft Word Online app from the Chrome Web Store.

* Use Google Docs or your Chromebook's built-in file editor.

By following these steps and utilizing these features, you can easily access and edit your Office files on your Chromebook using OneDrive.
