OneDrive

Cloud file locker

OneDrive is Microsoft's cloud storage service, allowing users to save files online and access them from any device.

It integrates with Windows and Microsoft Office, automatically syncing documents across computers and phones: I saved the report to OneDrive so I can open it on my laptop later.

The service competes with Google Drive and Dropbox.
