OneDrive Accounts - Personal vs. "emporia.edu"

OneDrive on the desktop has three different options for accounts that can be added.  After you install or sign in to your OneDrive client software, you'll automatically be synced to your employee OneDrive.  You'll see this in Windows File Explorer as "OneDrive - emporia.edu" in most cases.  (older clients may show it differently)
The second is OneDrive - Personal (which you'll see shows up in Windows File Explorer, as well).  This refers to a personal OneDrive account--NOT one associated with ESU.  For example, if you have an outook.com or hotmail.com email address for personal use, you could add it here and sync your files.  In most cases, you likely will never need or want to do this and can safely ignore it.

​Finally, if you have the older OneDrive for Business client installed on your PC, you do not want to use this one.  Only use the client simply called "OneDrive".
