Overview
OneDrive is a great way to store all of your important files in one place. You can start on an assignment in class, and pick up right where you left off at your home computer with OneDrive.
OneDrive is a cloud-based version of all the Microsoft Office products you already use. It is also a wonderful way to safely store all of your documents, and access them from any computer or smartphone, no matter where you are.
Normally when you save your work in a Microsoft Office product, it saves locally to your computer’s memory. This means you can only access that file on that specific computer, which can be a real hassle when it comes to keeping everything organized. OneDrive allows you to save your work to the Cloud, meaning any computer or smartphone that you sign into with your Microsoft account will have access to your files.
