Microsoft OneDrive

Features

Access files

Use your phone, tablet or computer to continue what you started, wherever you happen to be. Any changes you make will be updated on all of your devices.

Offline access

Stay productive when you're off the grid. You can access your files without being online, which means that you can always have your most important files with you.

Safe files

If something happens to your device, you don't have to worry about losing your files or photos – they're in your OneDrive. And OneDrive is encrypted using SSL.

Collaborate

Share files, folders and photos with friends and family. No more large email attachments or USB drives – just send a link via email.
