OneDrive lets you store all your work files in one secure place in the cloud. You can get to your files from any device, wherever you are, and you can share and collaborate with others on any file. 

On OneDrive, your files are backed up and protected. And you control if and when other folks can see them. 

## Get started with OneDrive

-   Upload files from your PC or Mac.
-   Share files with others.
-   Give others permission to edit files and work on them at the same time.
-   Get to your files from anywhere, on your computer, tablet, or phone.
-   Sync OneDrive to your PC or Mac, so you can access your files even when you're offline.

## Sync cloud files to your computer

### Sync OneDrive to your computer

1.  Select **Start**, type **OneDrive**, and then select **OneDrive**.
2.  Sign in to OneDrive with the account you want to sync and finish setting up.  
    Your OneDrive files will start syncing to your computer.

### Work with your files in your file system

Once you're synced, you’ll see your files in File Explorer. On a Mac, your files will appear under **OneDrive** in the **Mac Finder**.

If you use more than one account, your work or school files appear under **OneDrive** _**\- CompanyName**_ and your personal files appear under **OneDrive – Personal**.

You can copy or move files from your computer to OneDrive right from your file system.

You can also click the OneDrive cloud icon in the Windows notification area to check status on your files. Click **Settings** to add an account or manage other sync settings.
