There is no OWD Cloud app to install. Open your phone or tablet's browser and sign in with your usual email and password. The pages resize to fit.

A few things move on a small screen:

  • The sidebar is hidden. Tap the menu button at the top left to open it. Your name and Sign out are at the bottom of it.
  • In Settings, the sections are in a drop-down list at the top of the page.
  • Some table columns are hidden to save room.

Connect to your computer

To use the browser, tap Connect on the computer's row, then Connect via browser. Tap Full screen for more room. See connect in a browser.

Windows is made for a mouse and keyboard, so small targets and typing can be fiddly on a touch screen. A phone suits a quick check. For longer work, use a larger screen or a tablet with a keyboard.

To use Remote Desktop, install a Remote Desktop app from your device's app store, then enter the details from the RDP and credentials tab on the computer's page. See connect with Remote Desktop.

Remote Desktop only works from an address on that computer's Allowed IP addresses list. Your device's address can change when it moves between Wi-Fi and mobile data, so you may need to add it again.
