Paid-for plans aren't particularly flexible, either: £1.99 per month boosts storage up to 50GB but if you need more, you'll have to subscribe to Office 365, which starts at £5.99 per month and provides 1TB of OneDrive space. Generosity isn't OneDrive's strong suit - Microsoft ruthlessly slashed free storage from 15GB to 5GB back in 2015, and there's an individual file-size limit of 10GB. How it can be improvedĭata is encrypted in transit but your files remain unencrypted on Microsoft's servers, unless you're a OneDrive Business user. You'll have to upgrade Windows 10 to the recent Fall Creators Update for this but once that's done, you'll find a selection of new icons next to items in your OneDrive folder indicating their sync status.

This is particularly useful if you have a laptop or tablet with limited storage because you can just download individual files as you need them.

Even handier is the recent addition of Files On-Demand, which lets you view all the files stored in your OneDrive folders without physically having to sync them all with every device you own.
