What is "onedrive"

OneDrive (previously SkyDrive, Windows Live SkyDrive, and Windows Live Folders) is a file hosting service that allows users to sync files and later access them from a web browser or mobile device. Users can share files publicly or with their contacts; publicly shared files do not require a Microsoft account to access them. OneDrive is included in the suite of online services formerly known as Windows Live.

The storage limit for OneDrive users is 1 TB for Office 365 paid subscribers and was previously 15 GB of free storage, with an additional 15 GB for phone users who set their photos to upload automatically to OneDrive. However, free OneDrive storage decreased from 15 GB to 5 GB on 31 January 2016. Existing users who opted in retained their allowance.
