The result is that it always feels as if you are launching and saving your files from your cloud- based OneDrive account, even though those files are actually launching and saving from your local computer(s).

That's because Microsoft OneDrive manages all data file copies for you automatically and presents them to you as a single view from each PC you use. This approach may sound confusing, but it isn't. (Before you start screaming that you don't want to retrieve your data files from the cloud, hear me out.) The folders and files you save to your OneDrive account in the cloud can be automatically copied and saved to all your Windows 10 PCs. Microsoft's solution for doing this is to save your data files to your cloud- based Microsoft OneDrive account, which is included with Windows 10.
