Store files on OneDrive
OneDrive is essential for backing up important data, as it keeps the information securely stored on a remote server so that if anything happens to your computer, your files and documents can be retrieved.
Once you are signed into OneDrive, locate the folder on your computer. This can be found in a Finder window on a Mac or in a File Explorer window on a Windows PC.
It is then as simple as moving files you want to back up into this OneDrive folder. You can move individual files or groups of folders at one time. The OneDrive app icon will show you the status of the files being uploaded to your OneDrive.
After I copied all of these Screenshots, I can click on the OneDrive icon to check the upload progress. Since they are all small files, they are uploaded immediately.
Whereas if I put a larger file, it shows the progress of that file being uploaded.
The process is exactly the same for Windows users as well.
You'll see OneDrive listed on the left side of File Explorer:
And can see the status by clicking the OneDrive icon in the taskbar
