Where OneDrive fits
Choose it when your computer and document workflow already use Microsoft services.
Check before you choose
Review folder-backup settings carefully so you know which files are local, online or shared.
Find the right edition
Start with the destination for your device or the publisher's website. Use the current requirements and terms there to confirm the edition you need.
Compare the workflow
Separate personal notes, office documents and shared project tracking when comparing options. Local files offer a different ownership model from a hosted workspace, and synchronization is not a substitute for a backup.
