GRANULARITY OF CONTROL IS
ONEDRIVE'S KEY FEATURE• If you log into "Windows 10" with a
Microsoft account and you get the
bundled OneDrive app working, then
you have superior control over how
each file or folder that you store on
"OneDrive" behaves:
Online only, download when needed,
synchronized between the server farm
and your computer's hard drive, etc.

OneDrive (continued)• Collaboration with File
Versioning
"OneDrive" lets you share files with
others. You can give them the
ability to edit the files using "Office
Online". If you do so, "OneDrive"
will keep versions of the files that
others edit so that you can see
what changes that they have made
to a file.

OneDrive (continued)• Microsoft's instructions for setting
up "OneDrive" in Windows 10, 8.1,
and 7:

OneDrive (continued)• Key feature of "OneDrive":
Keeps "Special Folders" all the
same as long as you log into a
"Windows.." computer that has the
bundled "OneDrive" app installed
and activated, a "macOS" computer
that has the "OneDrive" app
installed, or a cell phone that has
the "OneDrive" app installed in it.
45
PROBLEMS WITH "ONEDRIVE"
• When you are using the "OneDrive"
app or a Web browser to upload
files and/or folders up to the
"OneDrive" server farm, it refuses
to let you upload some files and
folders and the error messages do
not make sense:

52
PROBLEMS WITH "ONEDRIVE"
(continued)• The bundled "OneDrive" app in
"Windows 10.." only works when you
log into "Windows 10.." with a
"Microsoft Account". If you log into
"Windows 10.." with a "local account"
and you then use a "Microsoft
Account" to get into the "OneDrive"
app, your attempts to upload data files
with either the "OneDrive" app or the
"OneDrive" folder will fail.
53
PROBLEMS WITH "ONEDRIVE"
(continued)• If you log into the OneDrive app from a
computer and you use "File Explorer"
upload data files by dragging from a
local hard drive to the "OneDrive" folder,
your data files will never arrive up at the
server farms of the OneDrive cloud
storage service. Afterwards, when you
use a Web browser to go to your
OneDrive.com account, you will
discover that your data files never made
it there!
