OneDrive Benefits
Signing into OneDrive on Windows gives you automatic backups of your files in certain folders, and you can manually control which folders are included in this cloud backup.
You'll get 5GB of storage space, but if you subscribe to Microsoft 365, you'll get at least one terabyte of cloud storage.
OneDrive makes it easy to collaborate and share files between different OneDrive users, which is especially useful if you work in a workplace that uses Microsoft's cloud services.
