    Hi Merickson,

    This is Wil, one of the independent advisor, an expert with Windows 10 and a fellow Windows 10 user like you. I understand your concern about cloud storage.

    Yes, you may actually access the files that you saved on the cloud storage on other devices. That is actually the main purpose of cloud storage. First, you would need to identify what cloud storage service did you use (OneDrive or Google Drive). Then on your
    Windows 10 laptop, you would just need to use the same application and sign-in using the same account to access the documents.

    I hope my suggestions help you. If you need further assistance please do reply back and I will respond as quickly as possible. Have a nice day.

    Thanks,

    Wilfred P.

    Best Cloud Storage Program

    Hi all. I'm after reliable, super-fast upload speed, and decent storage local-program cloud storage. I've tried the below:
    • Google Drive
    • Onedrive
    • Dropbox
    • Mega.nz
    They all include clunky programs that are slow even on a high end machine.. I'm on Windows 10 21H2 - *Smile
