OneDrive allows users to easily store and share photos, videos, documents and more...anywhere, on any device for free. When you install OneDrive, a OneDrive folder is created on your computer. Everything you put into this folder is automatically kept in sync between your computers (Mac or PC), Android or iOS devices, and OneDrive.com, so you can get to your latest files from virtually anywhere. Whenever you add, change, or delete files in one location, all the other locations will be updated. The OneDrive file hosting service offers 7 GB of free storage for new users, an additional 3 GB if you turn on the photo backup feature on your phone, and up to 5 GB from friend referrals earning 500 MB for each. A subscription to Office 365 adds an additional 100 GB as well. Power users who require more storage also have an option of choosing from three premium storage plans that add from 50 to 200 GB.
