What is Microsoft OneDrive and do I need it?

Microsoft’s cloud storage, OneDrive, can back up your files online. With it you can sync files on your Windows 10 PC to the cloud and to your other Windows PCs, your smartphone or tablet (with the OneDrive app for Android, iOS, or iPadOS installed), and even your Mac (via the OneDrive Mac app).

Should you use OneDrive?

Including OneDrive in Windows Explorer is incredibly helpful because you can save work from any application to your cloud storage directly, without having to go to a website. That includes apps that autosave files.

What is the disadvantage of OneDrive?

Limited document size support. Microsoft does not support files over 15 GB in OneDrive for Business. For larger files, you may need to use a compression utility. Lack of third-party app integrations.

Why is OneDrive bad?

OneDrive is bad for a simple reason: Their monetization relies upon it being a bad user experience. Let me explain. OneDrive makes money via subscription when you run out of space. Of course, Microsoft can’t afford to give every Windows user all the cloud space they want, so this makes sense.
