Perhaps you too must have heard about it at some time or the other. If you do not know about cloud storage, then let me tell you that it is a means in which we save our important data or files on an online platform and can view and use it whenever needed.
For cloud storage you can use Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Amazon cloud Drive etc. But here I will tell you about OneDrive and how to store your files in it.

What is OneDrive?
This is a service from Microsoft that provides an easy way for all Microsoft account users to store, sync and share all types of files for free. To avail its benefits you must have a Microsoft account.
If your account is not in Microsoft then I have explained the method to create Microsoft account in my last post. So you can create your account by reading our that post.
You can store files up to 5GB in Microsoft OneDrive. If you have less than 5GB storage capacity, you will have to purchase the premium plan of OneDrive. Click on this link to view OneDrive plans.
However, up to 5GB of space is plenty and most of the people are using the free plan, I am also using the free plan. If you need additional space, do not purchase the premium plan or the free plan is best.
Note- Microsoft is a trusted company so you can store all your important files in Microsoft OneDrive without any worry. So you must have understood well what is OneDrive? |
