Option 1: Select the Sync button.
If you browser asks for permission to open Microsoft OneDrive, click Allow or Yes.
What happens next depends on whether you have the latest version of OneDrive already, whether you are signed in to OneDrive with your work or school account, and whether you use classic OneDrive.
If the Getting ready to sync dialog box appears and nothing else happens, click Get the latest version of OneDrive.
