Currently, data hosting in the cloud is becoming much stronger thanks to the benefits not only of availability but also of security and integrity of data hosted in the cloud. There are currently different platforms for hosting files in the cloud and one of the most used by millions of users is OneDrive, which is integrated into the users email account. OneDrive allows us to use various devices such as mobile, tablet or PC in order to start some activity there and then continue it from anywhere else. Best of all, the changes made will be automatically updated on all devices associated with that account..

Another advantage of using OneDrive is its availability of offline files which guarantees the availability of the information since we will have access to the files without being online and always having the best security options since the files will be encrypted using SSL .

OneDrive gives us the ability to send a link via email, text message, iMessage or Facebook in order to share the items uploaded there to friends or family. Normally when we upload different elements to the cloud through OneDrive , then it will be necessary to download them to our local team either to have a backup of this information or to work on it, TechnoWikis will explain various methods to download one of the most used objects in OneDrive as are the photos to our team and thus have the possibility of working on them. To access our OneDrive account we will go to the following link:

Step 1

To perform this task in OneDrive, we right-click on the OneDrive icon located on the taskbar and in the displayed options select “Settings”:
