10 years of staying organized, protected, and connected with OneDrive

Every year, OneDrive hosts files from over 250 million customers on average. With each of them getting 5GB free to start, that’s at least 1.2 million terabytes of files! Put this way, if your average Surface Pro 9 has 512GB of storage, then you would have a stack of Surface devices that reaches 74,000 feet, or twice as high as your average airplane flies.

What are OneDrive’s best features?

With thorough integration in Microsoft 365, OneDrive is the easiest way to secure what matters most. Whether it’s your photos and memories, or ideas for the next great American novel, its free integration with Word, Excel, and PowerPoint is one of the most popular aspects of OneDrive.

There are plenty of reasons to love OneDrive, of course. Here’s what else people love about it:

Total backup and protection

With just a few clicks, you can back up your entire desktop computer or mobile device, and you can access your files from anywhere with cloud services—no matter how long ago you uploaded them.

Relive your memories

Keep all of your cherished photos in one place and organize them by year, location, or even who’s in them. Bring them up anytime you want to relive the good times, show your last great international trip, or prove to friends that you’ve been to that fancy restaurant.

Keep your files safe and secure

OneDrive features the latest encryption and cybersecurity technology so you can never worry that your files will be corrupted or held as ransomware. And even if you accidentally delete an important file, OneDrive can help you find it again for up to 30 days (with a Microsoft 365 subscription).

Reach out to anyone, anywhere, at any time

Collaborate with friends, family, and colleagues: no matter where you live, you can reach anyone by sharing files on OneDrive with them. Don’t just take our word for it: See how it’s worked for families who need to collaborate on projects from across the country.

Edit directly in the app

Want to tweak your photos while on the go? Got a great sketch for a new idea? If you’ve got OneDrive on your mobile device, you can edit your photos and videos wherever you go. Learn how to do just that, and streamline your digital life.

Scan files without fuss

In the past you had to use a bulky printer and scanner combination to digitize a file. Now, with the OneDrive mobile app, scan documents with your mobile device camera and extract just the text you need, or digitize your images directly to the cloud.

OneDrive pricing and features

OneDrive already comes with 5GB of free online cloud storage when you sign up for a free Microsoft account. If that’s not enough space, you’re in luck—it’s worth bundling OneDrive for its lowest-priced subscription tier, which nets you 100GB of storage, access to Microsoft support experts, and the most popular Microsoft apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote.

Need even more than that? You can subscribe to OneDrive for up to 1TB (1,000GB) of storage, or 6TB of storage for a family plan—to be shared with up to six of the closest people in your life. Opt for the full Microsoft 365 Family Plan and you’ll also get access to the full suite of apps, including the new Clipchamp video editor, Teawms for video conferencing and chats, and Defender to stay protected, among so much more.
