The genuine OneDrive.exe file is a software component of Windows Online Cloud storage service by Microsoft.Microsoft's OneDrive cloud storage facility provides for the synchonization, backup and sharing of data files, photos and music. You always have at least a few gigabytes at your disposal. In contrast to hard drives and thumb drives, OneDrive allows you access to your data from any Internet-capable device. Additionally, encryption of your data with software such as Boxcryptor is advisable, since Microsoft, as a U.S. firm, is required to allow access to the data to U.S. authorities under the Patriot Act. This also applies to competitors such as Dropbox, Apple's iCloud, and Google Drive. At the beginning of 2014, having lost its litigation with the British Sky Pay-TV service, Microsoft renamed its cloud storage service from SkyDrive to "OneDrive." Starting with Windows 10, OneDrive is more tightly bound to the operating system. You can still disable startup and synchronization with Microsoft Cloud. It is enough simply to click the OneDrive cloud icon in the taskbar's system tray. Select "Settings"; then disable the "Start OneDrive automatically when I sign in to Windows" option. Tip: if you would prefer to store your data under a different Microsoft account, you should also select "Unlink OneDrive" and then enter your new access data.
OneDrive stands for One Drive for all
