NOTE: As of the end of March 2025 available online storage is 250GB. The storage capacity is to Microsoft's discretion and may change over time.
When setting up the OneDrive app on your device to sync with your cloud storage, you need to be aware that the device needs to have enough free hard disk space or it will fail to syncronise. Standard laptop and desktop purchases do not have large hard drives. This means that you need to be vigilant when selecting the OneDrive folder location or the number of files/folders being synchronized at any time.
The app allows you to check your cloud storage used and how much is remaining.
By default, OneDrive automatically makes all files available between the app and online storage. This is fine if you have not yet uploaded anything to OneDrive or only a small amount, but you will need to keep this in mind as your usage increases. If your hard disk drive becomes full, one of your options is to change the files/folders being sync'd.
For other options see OneDrive for Staff or OneDrive for Students.
