One Drive on new computer.

[Stattovic]

I purchased a new laptop yesterday as old one was failing badly.

On there there is an item "One Drive", which now have some items I already have in Documents.

Could someone tell me its purpose please or should I uninstall it.

Many thanks

I uninstall it. I can not any use for any of the cloud storage facilities other than to make the proprietors of the various storage facilities more money. A small amount of storage is usually free. Any more and you have to pay.

I make very good use of my free storage via Onedrive, saves me a lot of hassle across multiple devices. Sue me?

So One Drive is like storage, icloud etc (which I never use).

If I dont have to pay extra happy to leep it going, not sure how much space I have for free ?

You get 5gb for free.

If you don't plan to use it I'd just leave it alone, it shouldn't bother you in anyway really, just on initial setup I think.

Good for you. Why would I want to sue you? Grow up baby boy. If you don't want to use it uninstall it. It's more junk from MS that you do not need.

I was merely pointing out it can be useful without spending a dime. Cool it with the hostility.
