Sign in to SharePoint
SharePoint is a browser-based app that you connect to through your web browser. If your organization has assigned you a license that includes SharePoint, you can sign in. In this article, we discuss the two most common ways to sign into SharePoint:
Sign in to SharePoint from the Microsoft 365 homepage
-
Go to m365.cloud.microsoft and sign in to your work or school account. For multiple accounts, refer here.
-
In the upper left corner of the window, select the app launcher
If you don't see the SharePoint app after selecting the app launcher, you can find it by either selecting More apps, or using the Search box near the top of the window to search for SharePoint. If you still don't see the SharePoint app, please refer to the Trouble finding SharePoint? section in this article.
For more information, see Where to sign in to Microsoft 365.
Notes:
-
If you sign in to Windows using your work or school account, you'll be signed in to SharePoint automatically.
-
Images in this Quick Start depict the Modern experience unless otherwise indicated. For more information, see Which version of SharePoint am I using?
Sign in to SharePoint from a SharePoint site URL
If you have the URL to a SharePoint site, you can sign in to SharePoint from the site URL:
-
Copy the SharePoint site URL (e.g., https://yourorganizationname.sharepoint.com/sites/project-x). Ensure you replace "yourorganizationname" and "project-x" with your own organization’s domain name and your actual site's name, respectively.
-
Paste the site URL into your browser's address bar and press Enter.
-
You will be redirected to the Microsoft 365 sign-in page.
-
Sign in with your Microsoft 365 credentials.
Have multiple accounts?
Switch accounts
If you have more than one Microsoft account, and want to switch accounts, select your name or picture at the top right of the browser window. Note that this will log you out of your current account.
Log into multiple Microsoft accounts simultaneously
If you are logged into Microsoft 365 with one account but need to access SharePoint with a different account, you can:
-
Log in using your browser's private mode
-
Set up multiple Microsoft Edge profiles
Log in using your browser's private mode
Use your browser's private mode to log in with a different account while keeping the first account logged in by selecting the three dots (ellipsis) at the upper right of your browser, then choose the appropriate private mode:
-
Microsoft Edge: Select New InPrivate window
-
Google Chrome: Select New Incognito window
-
Mozilla Firefox: Select New Private window
-
Safari: Select New Private window
Set up multiple Microsoft Edge profiles
If you use Microsoft Edge as your web browser, you can set up multiple Microsoft Edge profiles, one for each Microsoft account. This way, you can log into different accounts at the same time. Learn how to set up profiles.
After setting up your profiles, select them from the upper left of your Edge browser to log into their corresponding Microsoft accounts simultaneously.
