OneDrive is a cloud-based storage service where you can save your files to the cloud so you can access them anywhere and share them with anyone. Before you can save documents online with OneDrive, you need to sign in to Office.

The files you save online are located at the OneDrive.com domain which you can access by entering that web address directly into the web browser’s address bar or from a search engine such as the Microsoft-owned, Bing. Any saved files while online are also saved to the OneDrive folder which you can access from File Explorer in Windows 10.

When OneDrive is running, you get a “Move to OneDrive” command in the context menu for files available from certain locations, one of which is the desktop. You can use “Move to OneDrive” command to move a file to the OneDrive folder.
