Anyone use it to backup files on Windows 10, and if so any good?

Cheers.

Naff. Not much storage space given. Mega gives a lot more.

I use it as part of my 365 subscription. I use google drive for my personal.

For windows 10 you can set up 1drive as a another drive and save everything to it. It's got some cool features like you can search text in the photography of documents.

I tend to photography every letter etc I find important and once they become searchable it's easy to find say p60s etc.

The mobile app will also load your photos automagically to the cloud.

I know Brains Harveys is a fan

Thanks for the comments/info

If you have an Office 365 subscription and you get the 1gb version of onedrive it is a useful cloud storage tool.
However, it is most useful if you are a frequet user of other Microsoft tools shuch as Word, Excel, Powerpoint, SharePoint and Teams.

Don't spend money on it if you just want storage space, as already mentioned there are better 'independent' suppliers.

Cheers. I don't need that much. Got all my docs, photos, videos etc on external disc, just wondered if I there was any benefit of using something already on PC.

I have to create docs for work. The format is odt whatever that means, but I want it docx. Have a app which converts but still not great.

Any info on the best way to create docx would be appreciated.

Word saves files as docx.

Away this weekend so just on phone, will give it a go cheers. Sounds like it will be what I need rather than paying out. Assume Word is lurking on Windows 10 somewhere, or can download.

Who would have believed I worked at IBM for 23 years.

You have to pay for word. Google docs is free (as long as you have a Gmail account) and has a save as word file.
