1. Launch your browser and navigate to office.com then sign in with your Microsoft school account.
2. Click on Teams icon on the list of apps to launch Microsoft Teams.
3. While in MS Teams app, click on Teams icon on the left on the navigation bar to show the list of teams that you belong to.
4. Locate the icon for your club team and click on it to open it.
5. To access your club files, click on Files tab. This space is similar to OneDrive but it is shared among all team members.
