What does it mean to sink your OneDrive folders?
When you choose to sink your OneDrive folders on your computer.
You have a copy of these files online, on your OneDrive page.
You also place a copy of these files in your OneDrive folder.
Now, the advantage of doing it this way is:
When you are inside the OneDrive folder and inside a folder and inside a
opened text file in one of your shared folders, for example.
Whatever changes you make to that text document, are automatically changed
in the text document stored in OneDrive.
Can I use the default folders of OneDrive, to place my audio or text files
into for back up, or for sharing with others?
Yes, you can use them the same way, as I explained above.
OneDrive is a cool and easy way, to share large audio or text files with
others.
Microsoft gives each person a free 5 GB's of storage space on OneDrive.
Office 365 users get one TB of OneDrive storage.
I am currently sharing two OneDrive links to two different folders on my
OneDrive on my computer, with no issues.
If any of you still have questions about using OneDrive, please let me know.
