SharePoint Document Library Tutorial

In this step-by-step tutorial, learn how you can use document libraries in Microsoft SharePoint. A document library provides a secure place to store files where you and your co-workers can find them easily, work on them together, and access them from any device at any time. For example, you can use a document library on a site in SharePoint to store all files related to a specific project or a specific client. Adding files or moving files between folders is as easy as dragging and dropping them from one location to another.

What I like about your channel, Kevin, is that your video is straightforward. It doesn't go through some unnecessary theories or concepts but goes immediately to practical steps. No wonder why your channel has gained over 2.7M subscribers.

Thanks!

you saved me a lot of time. now instead of me creating short "how to" videos to our staff, I simply publish links to your videos :) super helpful. keep the good work!

Hey Kevin! I have been watching your channel since you started and just wanted to say thank you - you are keeping me current with MS Office and it is very helpful for me at work. I’ve noticed that you have slowed down your speech recently, that is helpful too, makes your tutorials a lot smoother sounding! Keep the videos coming!

I just wanted to say you are an absolute godsend Kevin. Your in-depth but comprehensive explanations make it possible to understand the workings of many Microsoft services. Thank you so much.

My company has just started using OneDrive and SharePoint, this tutorial is brilliant, thank you very much for sharing.

Great video Kevin! Thanks for doing those, really helpful. Maybe you can consider a video with basic tutorial how to build a simple document management system within SharePoint using inbuild functionality and power automate? It's a real headache to have a separate DMS solution for small company and we don't want to build more separate systems for basic flows. Lets say basic flows with approvals for contacts and invoices? Would be very grateful for basic heading where to start building those on SharePoint. Thanks in advance!

OMG! You explained this much clearer than our company trainer! You deserve a million 👍

[sherrymag]

I LOVED THIS! Kevin is THE BEST SHAREPOINT trainer I have ever seen... better than Linkedin, that I can't learn from at all, other youtube videos, and I can't afford in-person training centers because it's all between $2500-$3, 000.

This is so helpful Kevin. Thank you. Could you please do more tutorials on SharePoint's different webparts & how they function? Thx again!

[KristinPelletierMOS]

Thanks Kevin! This video helped to put it together. I thought I was alone in thinking this was so complicated. I'm getting there! I can really begin to see the power in these apps with collaboration and communication. Especially when it comes to working remotely.

Great job, Kevin. Very clearly described. Thank you

Office 365 is the gift that keeps on giving. I feel smarter every day as I lead our construction company to PPP. I have developed a link from pre Construction to Project Management to Controller, self taught without the huge Software purchase.

[louisepatterton]

Thank you. Our company is moving over the SharePoint next month and presentations like these are really helpful.

[francoisvanoostveen]

Recently started with SP. You're giving a clear explanation about the functionality in SP, thank from Holland

[sairaj]

What a wonderful video, Kevin. Thank you so much!

[myslc]

FIVE STARS Kevin, such a great presentation for ANY SharePoint user!

[edvinklimentic]

It is absolutely stunning how strong content and simplicity of explanation is bonded to one person :) Great, what else to say. If there wasn't for you I would never be able to understand the logic behind MS Products and their use. I hope you just keep bringing us more :)

[aphinity]

Excellent video with great details I had not known in the past. Great work!

[sandrawilkinson]

Thank you so much.
I start a job tomorrow. Scanning thousands of pages. Then I have to type in some info off the docs into files. Or file headers.
I will find out tomorrow.
Great video knowledge.👍🥰💕
