                 OneDrive  was launched by Microsoft in  2007. It was also known as
                 SkyDrive. OneDrive is a cloud file storage service. This cloud-based

                 service gives users a  space  to store and share  documents. When  a
                 person is working on multiple projects, he/she has to deal with loads of             OneDrive

                 files. These files occupy a lot of disk space on the laptop or desktop. The person might even
                 want to access the images and documents from his/her mobile, iPad, or laptop.

                 OneDrive helps to reduce the clutter from the desktop and access these files to edit/read
                 wherever the user is. This Internet-based storage platform by Microsoft offers 5 GB of
                 free space to users with a Microsoft account.
