OneDrive is a free Microsoft storage service which allows Microsoft account holders to store files in the cloud. There are two versions of this service, Personal OneDrive and OneDrive for Business, both of which cater to different users.
If you are using Windows 10 then you will notice that the OneDrive app automatically starts whenever you turn on your computer. If you don’t use OneDrive then you can unlink this or uninstall it from your computer.
