## Part 1: Visit destination to obtain link

Before creating a link to the external webpage, visit that webpage/resource.

1. Using your web browser, visit the internet item (webpage, video, article, etc.) that you would like to create a shortcut to.
2. Copy the URL of the webpage.
3. Continue following the instructions below.

## Part 2: Create the link

1. Visit [s.uconn.edu/onedrive](http://s.uconn.edu/onedrive) and sign in with your UConn email and password.
2. Navigate to the folder you would like to be the destination of your link.
3. Click **Create or upload **and choose **Link**.
4. In the popup window, paste in the link (URL) you copied in the previous steps.
5. Once you have entered the link, you may give the Link a name.
6. Click **Create**.

Once the link has been created, it can be moved to a new location in your OneDrive if needed.

> ℹ️ Once created, a link cannot be edited. If you need to modify it, just delete the old one and create a new one.
