In the past few years, Microsoft has integrated OneDrive, its cloud storage service, tightly with Windows. Using OneDrive used to be a cumbersome pain – now OneDrive is built right into Windows and can be used automatically.

Once you install OneDrive on a PC and set up your account, you should see OneDrive and all of its subfolders in File Explorer.

Here’s how to make sure you can see OneDrive.

How to add OneDrive to File Explorer

To view your OneDrive files in File Explorer, you’ll need to link your computer to your OneDrive account.

1. Click the Start search box and enter “OneDrive”. If you see OneDrive in the search results, click it.

2. Enter the email address associated with your OneDrive account, click Sign In, then enter your password. If you don’t have a OneDrive account, you’ll need to create one.

3. Follow the instructions to choose your OneDrive folder. If you’ve previously signed in to OneDrive on this PC, there might be a OneDrive folder. In this case you can click on “Use this folder”.

When you’re done, you’ll see your OneDrive files in File Explorer. You can now easily drag files in and out of OneDrive.
