Click on the App Launcher in the top left (the 9 dots) and select Sharepoint.
On the left you will see suggested sites based on the last ones you accessed or ones that you are following. Simply select the star to follow, as this will be a quick way for you to find the site again if required.
There is also the search at the top. Enter the name of the site that you want to find.
Some Sharepoint directories will have a website with more information, others are kept just as document libraries.
Most sits you access will be prefixed with EU. Remember this when searching.
When you have found the Directory, find the link to Documents. If the front page has not been developed this will be at the left hand side.
Click on the folder until you find the area you want to sync, then cick on the Sync button.
You will see this message. Click Close.
On the same page you will see this message. Click Open. It will then start to sync that directory to your machine.
In your Windows Explorer window (where you see your shared drives) You will see all the synched directories under a folder tree named Corporate Travel Management, which is all Sharepoint directories.
