Share your photos and other stuff between your devices
With OneDrive, you can easily access your photos, documents, and other stuff you have
uploaded from any of your devices.
To upload your photos, documents, or other stuff saved on your phone, tablet, or computer
to OneDrive, you need to sign in to your Microsoft account. To access the uploaded content
on another device, you need to sign in to the same Microsoft account that was used when
uploading the content.
To upload or download content, you need an internet connection. If you don't have a data
plan, the data transmission costs may pile up quickly. For information about possible data
costs, contact your network service provider.
There are several places where you can access your stuff on OneDrive. On your phone, you
can check your photos and videos in the Photos app, open your Office documents in the Office
apps, or play your music files in the Groove Music app.
On your tablet or computer, you can either manage your stuff online at onedrive.com, or you
can use the OneDrive app and access OneDrive straight from your desktop. If you don't yet
have the OneDrive app, you can download and install it from onedrive.com.
Tip: With the OneDrive app on your computer, you can simply drag and drop the files
you want to upload to the OneDrive folder in the file manager, such as Windows Explorer
or Finder, and the files are automatically uploaded to OneDrive.
