OneDrive is free online storage that's built into Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1. Add files from your PC to OneDrive, and then easily access your photos, music, documents, and other files on all the devices you use.
How you can help protect your privacy and security in OneDrive
Create a strong password for your Microsoft Account. You sign into OneDrive with your
Microsoft Account. Here is some basic guidance on how to create a strong password for that account. Different sites have different rules for passwords that they’ll accept, but this guidance should work anywhere you need to create a password:
- Length. Make your passwords at least eight (8) characters long.
- Complexity. Include a combination of at least three (3) uppercase and/or lowercase letters, punctuation, symbols, and numerals. The more variety of characters in your password, the better.
- Variety. Don't use the same password for everything. Cybercriminals can steal passwords from websites that have poor security and then use those same passwords to target more secure environments, such as banking websites. Check the strength of your password.
