About OneDrive

Files and photos that follow you across devices

OneDrive is Microsoft's personal cloud storage service. Anything saved to it can be reached from any device, which means the content stays available if a phone or laptop is lost. Microsoft's pitch is the freedom to open, edit and share files wherever you happen to be.

Sharing, scanning and extra protection

Documents and photos can be shared with friends and family, and people can collaborate in real time through Microsoft 365 apps. Files can appear in Windows 11 without taking up space on the computer. A mobile device can scan and store documents, receipts, business cards and notes, and a Personal Vault adds an extra layer of protection for important files and photos.
