Of course, Windows 11 integration is where it shines – even if I still get annoyed by Windows 11 trying to make everything default to my OneDrive storage, and having to scroll past all my OneDrive folders in File Explorer just to get to my local storage (you know, sometimes Microsoft I may want to go into my Downloads folder). Yep, there’s a OneDrive app for Macs, and it integrates quite nicely into macOS. These can be quite large files, but I still have plenty of space, and it means I can open up those projects on my desktop PC – as well as my MacBook. In fact, I now use OneDrive for storing music projects I’ve created in Ableton Live. I haven't felt the need (nor been bugged) to upgrade my storage. So far, the 1TB of storage space has been more than enough for all my photos. It’s not as seamless as using the Photos app and Google Drive on an Android phone, but it’s also not the nightmare I had feared. There’s an Android app available that automatically uploads the photos I take on my phone, and also helps me save space on my handset by safely deleting uploaded images once they are backed up. So far I’ve been very happy with OneDrive, and feel a bit bad about ignoring it for so long. It also has version history as well, and you can edit documents within a web browser, so you don’t even need Word or Excel installed. If you save a document to your OneDrive folder on your PC, you can select it to auto save constantly (rather than saving every five minutes or so), and then access those files via the web. So, I was quite happy to see that Word (and the other Office applications) offer similar functionality. One thing I do like about Google Docs is that it’s constantly saving in the background, so if your PC crashes, you’re unlikely to lose much work, and you can log in and access the documents from other machines as well.Įven if your PC completely breaks, your documents will be accessible via the internet from another machine. Having physical files on my PC also meant I could back them up to a NAS device, while also using cloud storage (paranoid? Perhaps). This was another big selling point for me, as even in the age of Google Docs, I’m one of those weirdos who still prefers to use office apps, especially word processors, that have been installed locally.įor longer-form articles, they give me a sense of security and control I just don’t feel with Google Docs, so I was thinking of investing in Microsoft Office anyway (or using the free alternative LibreOffice). Along with 1TB of storage, it also includes licenses for Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint. However, the Microsoft 365 Personal tier offers 1TB of storage – a lot more than the 200GB I was using, but without being more than I would need – for $6.99 a month (and it’s cheaper if you pay yearly). While, like Google, Microsoft offers a free tier for OneDrive, it’s just 5GB, which isn’t enough for my photos. I wasn’t a fan, and most of the time, I had been happy with Google Drive, so I didn’t want another cloud storage service – and I resented constantly being asked about it.īut as I was no longer content with Google Drive, I thought I’d look into what Microsoft was offering. Every time I tested out a new laptop or PC – which due to my job, is very often – I was being begged to turn on OneDrive to sync all my devices. This was Microsoft’s cloud storage solution, and in classic Microsoft style, it had been pushing it hard in Windows 11. When looking for a replacement cloud storage solution for my rapidly growing photo collection, there was one service I had already made up my mind about not using – OneDrive.
