Windows 10 places OneDrive in every folder’s Navigation Pane, where it’s easily accessible. You can pick and choose which folders should live only on OneDrive, and which should also be mirrored — also known as synced — so they live on your computer, as well.
That can create a problem: Today’s smaller phones, tablets, and laptops don’t include much storage space. OneDrive, by contrast, can hold lots of files. Some smaller computers, usually tablets, don’t have enough room to keep a copy of everything you’ve packed away on OneDrive.
Store, sync, and share work files in the cloud using Microsoft OneDrive for Business, which comes with SharePoint Online and Office 365 business subscription plans.
Synching files is Windows 10’s solution. The files that you choose to sync will be automatically updated between your computer and the cloud. On the cloud, your files serve as a backup, as well as a way for you to access them from your phone, tablet, or PC.
Files that aren‘t synced live only on OneDrive. If you need them, you can access them by visiting OneDrive on the Internet, as I describe later in this section.
When you first click the OneDrive folder on a new PC, Windows makes you choose which files and folders should live only on OneDrive, and which should also live as copies on your PC.

You don’t need to sync the same set of folders on each of your computers. For example, you can choose to sync only the essentials on your small tablet — perhaps just your photos. On a desktop PC with large storage, you can choose to sync everything.
