OneDrive is a good cloud storage solution, especially if you are a Windows user. One of the biggest reasons is that it is already available on Windows without needing to download anything. It also integrates easily with the operating system itself, Microsoft’s other tool, and you can make a file available offline with a few clicks.

To do that, open the OneDrive folder in File Explorer, right-click the file you want to sync for offline use, and select “Always Keep on This Device” in the menu.

If you’re working in Google Drive instead of OneDrive, you must enable offline mode in the web version of Google Drive. This will ensure that any files you create in Google Drive are automatically synced locally so they can be viewed and edited offline.

To do that, log into your Google Drive, click the gear icon in the top-right corner, and select “Settings” in the menu.
