Microsoft recently removed access to their suite of Office desktop apps on personal devices for Glow users.  But did you know, you can still access all your favourite and essential apps online without the need to purchase a subscription?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a number of ways you can do this…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Log into Glow on a browser and open OneDrive. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Visit office.com and sign in to Microsoft 365 using your Glow credentials. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Download and sign into Microsoft mobile apps on devices smaller than 10.9 inches.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With all options you can access your existing files in OneDrive, including those shared with you by others, and you can create new files. Any edits you make to existing files, or any new files you create will be saved to your OneDrive and will be available the next time you access on a school device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
