The most basic use for OneDrive is backing up and storing files in the cloud.  This can be done by saving files into folders that are synced with OneDrive (you can also drag and drop files into synced folders).

There are several ways to access your OneDrive folder.  Here are two of the easiest:

Open File Explorer (folder icon) and browse to the “OneDrive - EccoviaSolutions” folder in the left-hand menu

Right-click the OneDrive icon (blue cloud) in your System Tray and click “Open folder” (pictured)

Any files or folders that you create/move within the OneDrive folder will automatically be synced to the cloud

This makes them easily accessible regardless of what computer/device you are using

If you need to access your synced files from another device, log into https://portal.office.com and then click the OneDrive icon in the left-hand menu

Meanings of the OneDrive icons you’ll see by your synced files:

A “people” icon next to the file indicates the file/folder has been shared with others

A blue cloud icon indicates the file is only available online - online-only files don’t take up space on your computer

A green tick icon (green circle outline with a green check) means the file was online-only, but then it was opened, and a local copy has been downloaded, which can be accessed even when you are offline

A solid green circle with a white check mark indicates the file will always be available on your device, even when you’re offline
