After logging in, please click on the Microsoft 365 tiles located on the top left:

Many options will appear; then click on OneDrive.

The next window will show any files or folders stored in your personal space. To create a new folder, please click on “New”. Then choose “Folder”.

Type in the name of the person you would like to share your folder with. If that person is within the CSU directory, their contact will appear as shown in the picture above. However, you can share your folder with anyone. To share with anyone outside CSU, they will also need to have signed up for OneDrive and you will need to know their email address.
