Beginner's Guide to OneDrive for Windows - UPDATED Tutorial

[independentthinker]

Thank you sir. I have been using OneDrive for many years (started when it was SkyDrive), and I am greatly pleased with OneDrive. I still use use the Free account as I just store the most important files (for safe keeping) in the cloud and not everything that is on my PC. This way, I have only consumed about 30% of the 5MB Free storage in OneDrive. You have shown me some new things that I was not fully aware of, e.g. the Sync'ing functionality.

Love how you describe use cases and then go through examples. For learning, the tool itself is not really important, but how you use it is. Thank you.

Thank you for this tutorial. I retired in 2014 and could not believe how much I forgot since than. I am so glad that you made this so easy to follow. I look forward to learning your other tutorials. KP

Exceptionally well done!! I mean it. From start to finish, perfectly organized, with no jumping around and so clearly explained. Also appreciated how you went through all the one drive icons and functions MS displays/offers and clearly explaining how to use OD on both my PC and on web. Your tempo was also perfect. I have a complete overview of what is what, where everything is and how each affects the other. Of course I clicked Like, I also subscribed!

How about a video on how to turn one drive off and or so it only saves files I tell it to, rather than my whole computer

I would like to know how to keep OneDrive from taking over all of my files and folders on my computer also. I agree with Coelton below. I don't want all my files uploaded. When I upgraded to Windows 11 it took over everything and I couldn't even back up items to my external drive. I finally figured out hot to do that but can't stop OneDrive from syncing everything. You did a great job explaining the tutorial slowly so people new to the drive can learn it. I taught for years and love how you were so detailed and explicit. In most videos I have to pause and go back many times to understand what they are saying. They must think everyone is a computer expert like them.

I began making you my Go-T0 for help on all things One Drive. If I understood you correctly, if I want to save to my hard drive using Word, I must go to Edit, then select Word (rather than OneDrive word.) This is going to make a big difference for me immediately. Many people have lots of knowledge, but only a few of those people make good teachers. Thank you for being a good teacher.

Finally got my 2 computers to sync with folders I need on each computer. Thanks

I am interested in you creating tutorials for all of these including excel, power point and word. Thank you I do find this helpful.

[petruradautanu]

Omg, you explained it very simply! It's really easy to understand. Thank you so much! I've always wanted to learn these.

You're a natural teacher - a very rare creature!

[BayEsplanade]

EXCELLENT - Very clear. I thought I was an experienced user of OneDrive but I made a large coffee and sat down to listen. I picked up a few points that |I did not know and some that clarified my thinking. Now going on to look at more of your videos. THANKS

[maribelgumangan]

[wiltonguilloryjr]

Yours was the easiest to follow and understand. A great teacher.

[edritchie]

VERY well narrated! This was helpful! Thank you!

[peggydyer]

Very helpful video. Thank you and you are so right in saying much overlooked facet of one drive is the backup feature. Hard to find info on this. I would love to hear you talk at length about having all of ones computers synced to one drive. I don't want to ever have to survive another hard drive crash! LOL

[satinafetish]
