FEATURES
On Windows, keep rarely used files in the cloud: they appear in the OneDrive folder and download when opened, saving disk space.
Set up backup of supported computer folders in OneDrive. After synchronization, their contents will also be available on other devices.
Save the files you need on your device in advance. You can open them on a computer or phone while traveling when a connection is temporarily unavailable.
Share a file or folder with other people. A cloud document is easier for recipients to open than searching for a copy in attachments.
Return to an earlier document state through version history. This helps restore content after an unwanted edit.
Restore accidentally deleted files while they remain in the OneDrive recycle bin. Retention periods depend on whether you use a personal or work account.
Enable camera backup in mobile OneDrive. Photos and videos from your device will upload to cloud storage.
Find documents through folders and the search field, and open and download files from your phone. Keep work materials close at hand.
HELP CENTER
Enabled downloads lead directly to verified installer files. — Use an enabled Download button for Mac, Windows to retrieve the matching English installer directly from the official publisher. Check the selected product and license before installation. Account, store and guide pages are not offered as downloads.
Your sign-in determines which cloud files you can access. — The app is installed separately, but files appear after signing in to the correct account. Storage capacity and available features depend on the account plan.
Local files are not the same as cloud files. — After signing in, you can sync selected folders. Check storage settings before relying on full local copies of every file.
Use the installation path for your actual device and license. — Check the official system requirements, platform, edition and architecture before installation. On Windows, confirm compatibility with existing Office apps and add-ins. Windows installation media cannot be installed on macOS or mobile devices.
Do not mix work and personal accounts. — The installer type depends on the device, not the email domain. After installing, sign in with your work account and check your organization's policies.
