OneDrive teacher access to student content?

[2ilent8cho]

Is there a way to enable a group, i.e. Staff access to our student one drives?

[Achandler]

Yes, you can use Powershell to add users to "personal" OneDrives as such, then a teacher could open the drive using a link to it. It would be quite complicated though I think.

 

I only know because we have an admin account that has access to every drive

As @Achandler mentioned, there's bound to be a PowerShell script to do that!

 

Alternatives:

Not ideal for non-Global Admins (e.g. teaching staff etc)

As a 'Global Administrator' you can access anyone's One Drive via Office365 Admin Centre > Users > {Select specific user} > OneDrive Settings > Click Access Files > Then URL Link appears

 

or

 

Office365 Admin Centre > Sharepoint Admin Centre > user profiles > manage user profiles > {find/select user} > Manage Site Collection Owners
