What is OneDrive ?
OneDrive is a compelling & Highly Admired product from Microsoft Corporation. With an ample 10 GB of free storage, a slick & stylish interface with the ability to download files from any internet connected computer, OneDrive is far better than Dropbox.
Getting Started with Microsoft OneDrive
Microsoft’s OneDrive works on almost every version of windows, including Windows 8, Windows 7 and of course Windows Vista but not for Windows XP users because Microsoft Corporation wants you to upgrade to newer versions. OneDrive also runs on Apple’s OS X, Windows Phone, Apple iOS & Android.

Here’s How to Install OneDrive on Your Computer.
Go to https://apps.live.com/Onedrive from your Browser. After you launch the OneDrive installer, it installs the app without any Hassel & additional Commands.
