OneDrive works best on Windows, as you’d expect. Specify the files and folders you want to update and they’ll be automatically updated both on OneDrive in the cloud and on all your other devices where OneDrive is set up. It’s integrated with Windows 10 and comes as part of the Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) subscription package, so you can also access OneDrive from Microsoft 365. OneDrive lets you store documents online and gives you the Office toolkit (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) inside the OneDrive web application, letting you work on documents with others in your web browser.

But if you use Microsoft Office a lot, this might be the solution you’ve been looking for. So does OneDrive measure up to the tools you’re already used to using? That depends.

Under various names, it’s been around since 2007, but has been overshadowed until fairly recently by competitors Dropbox and Google Drive. OneDrive is Microsoft’s cloud storage offering.
