What Is Microsoft OneDrive?

Microsoft OneDrive is a service that Microsoft provides to help you keep your files up in the cloud. Microsoft OneDrive is free until you hit 5GB then you will have to pay for a subscription. Here are the pricing plans that you can choose from.

How do I sign up for a Microsoft Onedrive account?

First, go to Microsoft.com. Then, in the center of the screen, you should see two buttons, one of the buttons says “Sign-in” and the other one says, “Try For Free.” You want to click on the Try For Free button. Finally, follow the prompts to sign up for an account.

How do I use Microsoft OneDrive?

Once you sign up for an account you’ll land on the homepage of Microsoft OneDrive. To create things like a Doc, CSV, PPX, and Microsoft OneNote, click on the New button. Then select the type of file you want to create or upload from your computer by clicking the Upload button. If you want to create a folder, click on the new button then select the folder option from the dropdown.

How do I save a file to Microsoft OneDrive?

I’m glad you asked how to save a file to Microsoft OneDrive. To save a file to OneDrive in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, click the top left corner of your screen and turn on Auto Save. Then, select where you want the files to be saved in your drive. This process works for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

That is how you set up and use Microsoft OneDrive. If you have any questions please use the buttons below.

What’s Coming Up Next Week?
