Note
The ability to choose the folders you want to sync is new in Windows 10. It replaces the “smart
files” (placeholder files) feature of Windows 8.1, which Microsoft says confused people and
didn’t work well with other apps.
OneDrive.com
No matter where you go, no matter what computer, tablet, or phone you’re
using, you can get to all the files on your OneDrive—from a web page. Just
sign into your Microsoft account at onedrive.com.
Once you’re viewing the contents of a OneDrive folder, buttons across the
top of the window describe all the usual tasks you might want to perform
when working with files: New (folder or document), Rename, Delete,
Upload and Download (files to or from OneDrive), “Move to” and “Copy
to” (to move or copy things into other OneDrive folders), Share (with
someone else, by sending an emailed invitation), Embed (gives you the
HTML code you need to make the file show up on a web page), Sort, and
so on.
