    What is OneDrive


    I have just received an email with an attachment.When I click to open the link it gives me 2 options
    open or save.Both options send it to a folder called OneDrive,but I am unable to open it from there.

    Win 10: What is Microsoft OneDrive ??

    Hi;

    I have recently upgraded to Win 10 from Win 7 Pro.

    In simple English, what is OneDrive ?

    Is it a MS search engine ?

    Is it a browser ?

    Do I have to sign into it ?

    Thank you.

    What is OneDrive

    OneDrive is Microsoft's Cloud storage, only available to you if you have a Microsoft account. There should be an option to 'Save as' that would let you save it elsewhere.

    I have an MS account, but you don't have to logon with it to use OneDrive. I logon to the computer with a local account.

  6. Yes but the first time you go in to Onedrive you have to setup you MS account to connect. You don't need a MS acccount to login to Windows (u can use local account). You can use Onedrive if logged in Windows with a local account but have to use the MS account to access it the first time.
