Managing your files and documents wherever you go is easy and fast, thanks to Microsoft OneDrive. It is your cloud storage that allows you to save your files on the cloud server of OneDrive. From there, you can check and open your OneDrive using any device.
Microsoft OneDrive also enables you to share your files with other users, making it more convenient and effective for remote collaboration on PC or Mac computer. You can also use different Microsoft Office 365 apps like MS Word, MS Excel, and MS PowerPoint. OneDrive is being used in business for work or school as well as for personal purposes.
However, not everyone enjoys an unlimited storage space that OneDrive has to offer. If you sign up for a free account, you only get to use up to 5 GB of storage space. Still, if you need more storage space, you can subscribe to its paid plans giving you 100GB, 1TB, or 6TB storage space.

Having a larger storage space on your OneDrive will not compel you to check its availability every once in a while. A 1 TB space can go a long way on your OneDrive. However, if you are using the free account, you need to check your usage to make sure you can still save your files.
