OneDrive: Information

Summary

This article gives information about downloading the OneDrive desktop app or mobile app.

Content

Overview

Access files from any device. Use your phone, tablet, or computer to continue what you started — wherever you happen to be. Any changes you make will be updated on all your devices. Stay productive when you're off the grid with Offline Access. You can access your files without being online, which means you can always have your most important files with you. Keep your files safe! If something happens to your device, you don't have to worry about losing your files or photos – they're in your OneDrive. And OneDrive is encrypted using SSL. Share files, folders, and photos with friends and family. No more large email attachments or thumb drives — just send a link via email, text, iMessage, or Facebook. Create polished documents, unlock insights, present with clarity, and collaborate in real-time using Microsoft365 OneDrive.

You'll always have the latest Office applications, 1 TB of OneDrive storage, and premium OneDrive features. Access all of your OneDrive files in Windows 10/11 or on MacOS without taking up space on your computer. Use your phone to scan and store paper documents, receipts, business cards, or whiteboard notes in your OneDrive. With Microsoft365, you can increase the security of your OneDrive by setting an expiration date for the links to files and photos you've shared.
