How to access Sharepoint!?

Question

I'm the main admin on our Microsoft accounts. I just want to create some company-wide shared folders.

I see this can't actually be done in OneDrive so I'm trying to use Sharepoint.

When I go to microsoft.sharepoint.com I get this...

Selected user account does not exist in tenant 'Microsoft' and cannot access the application '00000003-0000-0ff1-ce00-000000000000' in that tenant. The account needs to be added as an external user in the tenant first. Please use a different account.

On top of this when I go to admin.microsoft.com all I get is a blank screen.

Why does nothing work in the world of Microsoft and give such obscure and unhelpful error messages (if you're lucky enough to even get those!?)

Answer 1

Hi @Seth Ward,

To access SharePoint, you should go to "<your tenant name>,microsoft.com" instead of "microsoft.sharepoint.com".

Reference: Sign in to SharePoint.

Do you mean you haven't created an organization in the Microsoft 365 admin center?
If you have created an organization, the organization name will exist, right?
"<organization name>.sharepoint.com"
