Syncing OneDrive with OneNote on Windows 11

As of Fall 2025, all classroom computers are running Windows 11. With the addition of Windows 11, Microsoft has updated the way you'd sign in to OneNote to sync your OneDrive files from computer to computer. Let's walk through on how you can properly sync your OneDrive files for the first time when using OneNote on a Windows 11 computer. Please keep in mind that you must do this on every computer you may use/teach on, as it's a per computer basis.

How to Login with OneDrive Business:

  • Open the OneNote application.
  • Press the "Sign In" button. This will open a Microsoft login window, simply close it as this is a login window for OneDrive Personal.
  • OneNote should now open. Simply press "File > Open > Add a Place > OneDrive for Business"
  • This will open a new login screen, where you can now login with your Clarkson University login. Please ensure you enter your full email address (i.e. user@clarkson.edu).
  • You will now be able to view your Notebooks from your Clarkson University OneDrive account.
