Files On-Demand is also another cool feature that allows you to access all your files without downloading them, saving a lot of local storage. When setting up the service with a Microsoft account on your computer, you can also sync and roam your system preferences and many settings (including BitLocker recovery keys) across your devices. If you use a Windows 10 device, you get even more features.

Also, OneDrive makes it easy to share content with other people and collaborate in real-time using the Microsoft 365 integration. For example, since it works across devices and platforms, you can create a file on one device and pick up where you left off on another (desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or phone) without having to transfer anything to a USB flash drive or email it to yourself, which not only creates extra steps but also creates unnecessary copies. The service works like a traditional external drive, but with the difference that it is available through the internet and offers additional features.
