+## Purpose
+You may find that you need to access data from a user's personal OneDrive account, and since that data cannot be accessed directly via Office365's Admin Portal, you have to do some legwork in Powershell.
+
+### Connect to Sharepoint
+```powershell
+Install-Module Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell
+Import-Module Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell
+Connect-SPOService -Url https://<companyname>-admin.sharepoint.com # Login with your Office365 Admin Credentials when Prompted
+```
+
+### Display List of Personal Sharepoint Sites (OneDrive)
+```powershell
+Get-SPOSite -IncludePersonalSite $true -Limit All
+```
+
+### Check OneDrive Usage of the Given User
+```powershell
+Get-SPOSite -Identity "https://<companyname>-my.sharepoint.com/personal/username_companyname_com" | Select Url, Owner, StorageUsageCurrent, StorageQuota, LastContentModifiedDate
+```
+
+### Assign Yourself Permissions to Their OneDrive
+```powershell
+Set-SPOUser `
+-Site "https://eaglesafetyak-my.sharepoint.com/personal/username_companyname_com" `
+-LoginName "i:0#.f|membership|admin@companyname.com" `
+-IsSiteCollectionAdmin $true
+```
+
+### Navigate to Webpage
+At this point, you now have permissions to access the OneDrive data, so open a web browser and navigate to the SPOSite URL seen previously, seen below.  From here, you can download, upload, and manage the data however you need.
+- `https://<companyname>-my.sharepoint.com/personal/username_companyname_com`
+
+### Remove Permissions
+At this point, when the work is done, revoke your permissions to lock-down the OneDrive data once again by running the following command:
+```powershell
+Set-SPOUser `
+-Site "https://eaglesafetyak-my.sharepoint.com/personal/username_companyname_com" `
+-LoginName "i:0#.f|membership|admin@companyname.com" `
+-IsSiteCollectionAdmin $false
+```
