Saving Space with OneDrive

By setting up OneDrive on your computer, you can save files directly to your OneDrive account. You can also sync specific folders on your OneDrive with your computer.
When a folder on your computer and your OneDrive are synced, it means that when a file is saved to one destination it is automatically saved in the other location. By syncing only specific folders, you can better control the amount of space OneDrive files take on your computer.
