OneDrive is Microsoft’s cloud-based storage service that lets you securely store, access, and share your work files from anywhere.
-
Access anywhere - Documents, photos, and other files are saved in the cloud so you can reach them from your computer, phone, or web browser.
-
Keep files protected - Files stored in OneDrive are automatically backed up to the cloud, helping safeguard your work if your device is lost, stolen, or damaged.
-
Share and collaborate securely - Control who can view or edit files, and collaborate in real time with colleagues directly in Microsoft 365 apps.
-
Automatic version history - Restore previous versions of files if changes or deletions occur.
-
File restore and recycle bin - Recover accidentally deleted items up to 30 days later.
-
Files On-Demand - See all your files in File Explorer without taking up local storage space.
-
Try saving a file to OneDrive: From any Office app (like Word or Excel), choose File → Save As → OneDrive to see how cloud saving works.
-
Move a document to the cloud: Drag an existing file from your desktop into your OneDrive folder in File Explorer to back it up automatically.
-
Access your files from Teams or the web: Open Teams, click the OneDrive icon, and confirm your files are available across devices.
-
Share something simple: Try sharing a test document with a coworker and set permissions (View or Edit) to see how collaboration feels.
-
Check out the sync icon: In File Explorer, look for the cloud or green checkmark icons next to your files — they show whether a file is stored locally or just in the cloud.
