Discover some effective ways to use OneDrive to make resources accessible easily, as well as deliver content over a variety of rooms.

Microsoft OneDrive

#1 - Setting Up OneDrive Sync

The purpose of OneDrive Sync is to work on your Windows 10 device and have files automatically backed up to your OneDrive cloud storage account. OneDrive comes pre-installed on your Windows 10/11 device. Use it to connect to your personal OneDrive account. You will need OneDrive.

Activity: If you are on a Windows device that you would like to sync your files to, such as a work tablet/computer assigned to you, then proceed with setting up OneDrive Sync.

#2 - Backup/Restore Content From/To OneDrive

Users may often have the need to move content from OneDrive for Business (which is what Microsoft 365 users are using) to OneDrive Live (which is what personal users have), or back-n-forth. You can do this easily using one of two tools available at no charge.

#3 - Directory/File Copy Tool

Free Commander

Working with lots of files and directories and need an easy way to manage them? Use a tool like Free Commander. It makes it easy to copy/move/delete/compress files from one place to another.

FreeCommander is an easy-to-use alternative to the standard windows file manager. The program helps you with daily work in Windows. Here you can find all the necessary functions to manage your data stock.

You can take FreeCommander anywhere – just copy the installation directory on a CD or USB-Stick – and you can evenwork with this program on a foreign computer.
