How to access a Microsoft Sharepoint document site on the web

Microsoft SharePoint is where your organisation stores and shares documents online. You can access it from any web browser, without needing to install extra software.

Step 1: Sign in to Microsoft 365

  1. Open your web browser (Chrome, Edge, or Safari).

  2. Go to https://www.office.com.

  3. Sign in with your work email address and password (e.g. name@yourcompany.com.au).

Step 2: Open SharePoint

  1. Once you’re logged in, look at the left-hand menu or the app launcher (the 9-dot “waffle” icon in the top-left corner).

  2. Click on SharePoint.

  3. You’ll now see a list of SharePoint sites your account has access to.

Step 3: Choose Your Document Site

  1. Click on the site you need (e.g. Accounts, HR, Projects).

  2. Inside the site, click Documents from the left-hand menu.

  3. You will now see the document library (folders and files).

Step 4: Work with Files

  • Open a document: Just click the file name to view or edit in Word, Excel, or PowerPoint online.

  • Download: Right-click the file and choose Download.

  • Upload: Drag and drop files from your computer into the document library.

Notes

  • You need permission from your organisation to access a SharePoint site. If you can’t see the one you need, contact your IT administrator.

  • Files in SharePoint are always up to date — no more emailing versions back and forth.
