OneDrive Sync is a feature that automatically keeps your files on your computer and in your OneDrive cloud storage in sync.
How OneDrive Sync Works:
- Files are synced: When you save a file to your OneDrive folder on your computer, it is automatically uploaded to your OneDrive cloud storage.
- Changes are reflected: Any changes you make to a file on your computer are reflected in the cloud, and vice versa.
- Access from anywhere: You can access your synced files from any device with an internet connection, even if you don't have the original file on your computer.
Benefits of Using OneDrive Sync:
- Automatic backups: Your files are automatically backed up to the cloud.
- Easy access: You can access your files from any device with an internet connection.
- Collaboration: You can easily share and collaborate on files with others.
- Version history: You can access previous versions of your files.
Example:
Imagine you are working on a presentation for a meeting. You save the presentation to your OneDrive folder on your computer. As you make changes, they are automatically saved to your OneDrive cloud storage. You can then access the presentation from your phone or tablet, even if you don't have your computer with you.
