So what is OneDrive? OneDrive is Microsoft\u2019s cloud storage offering. You get Google Drive from Google, you get iCloud from Apple, and you get Dropbox from Dropbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re new to OneDrive or cloud storage in general, what benefits do you get from storing your files, folders, and photos in cloud storage? Why not just store everything on your computer hard drive?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well, there are three main benefits to using OneDrive:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25ba What happens if you have lots of important word documents, excel spreadsheets, and years’ worth of family photos stored on your computer – and then the computer hard drive fails? Without a backup, you\u2019ve lost everything. If you store everything in OneDrive and your computer hard drive fails – you haven\u2019t lost anything because everything is stored in the Microsoft cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25ba Secondly, if you have all your data stored on a PC at home or a laptop and you are out and about, or on holiday and you need to access something urgently – without cloud storage, you can\u2019t because you\u2019re not with your With Onedrive, you access all of your data from any PC with an internet connection or even on your phone or tablet. PC. As an example, I recently went on holiday and wanted to hire a car, but I\u2019d forgotten to take my driving license with me. Fortunately, I have a scanned copy of my driving license in my OneDrive so I was able to open the OneDrive app on my phone and show the car rental company. Nice and easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25ba The third example is more geared towards businesses. But if you want to share some information. Maybe you\u2019re working on a project and you need to share presentation files with colleagues. If the presentation is on PowerPoint stored on your computer – you probably will email it backward and forwards. With OneDrive, you can easily share your documents with other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So three great reasons why OneDrive is a great option – but the fourth reason is that it\u2019s free! Microsoft gives you a Onedrive account with 5GB of data for free. To give you an idea of how much 5GB is – it\u2019s about 2000 photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
