    OneDrive is a file hosting service and synchronization service operated by Microsoft as part of its suite of Office Online services. OneDrive allows users to store files and personal data like Windows settings or BitLocker recovery keys in the cloud, share files, and sync files across Windows and macOS computers, as well as Android and iOS mobile devices.

    OneDrive was initially launched in August 2007 as Windows Live Folders, later rebranded to Windows Live SkyDrive and then to OneDrive in 2014. The service has evolved significantly since its inception, adding features such as Office Online integration, real-time collaboration, and enhanced security measures.
